suggestions for scout camp out Utah County

[zukgod1]

I need some suggestions for my scouts. We can't go for more than 24hrs so it needs to be close.
We have thought about Payson canyon, AF Canyon but need some ideas of out of the way cool places.

Anyone?

you could do a over night hike over Nebo, we did it in scouts and it was pretty fun, or the typical sand dunes trip, payson lakes area, good fishing experience,

Took the scouts out by little moab a couple weeks back, found some geocaches and took it easy. (chimney rock area)

North and South Willow canyons in the Stansbury range (south west of Grantsville) is good for scouts. In the summer I used to take my scouts up to the Uintas off the mirror lake highway and hike into the lakes around Trial lake.

Potters Ponds, was just there last weekend, 2 hr drive.

I vote for American Fork Canyon, Forest Lake if it is only for an overnight, Pittsburgh Lake if you can go for longer. They are both really pretty areas, though I hear it is more crowded up there than when I was a scout.

My brother went 4 wheeling to a place called Shingle Mill near Mapleton I think it was (above the Cub Scout day camp). I was mad that he came by to see me (I was at work there) then left before I found out if I could get the rest of the day off. He talked about how nice it was which only irritated me a bit more. It might be worth looking into.

God Bless you for dealing with those adolescent hoodulums! I am clueless on suggestions for you.....

Mirror Lake is one we discussed.

We've about done Payson Canyon to death at this point, same scouts for 6+ years now.
I still enjoy it but the kids are getting board.

We are heading to Tim cave for a day trip in a couple weeks that will be fun, then we figured we would head up the canyon farther and have lunch then home.


Sure is good for the kids, me to I suspect.
