Uinta Recreation: Fun Facts & Cool Features
The name 'Uinta' is derived from the Ute Native American tribe word "Yoov-we-teuh," meaning a pine tree or a pine forest. This linguistic heritage reflects the deep-rooted connection between the land and its original inhabitants.
A fun fact is that Uinta Recreation is one of the few outfitters permitted to guide the Uinta—Wasatch Cache National Forest. This means you can snowmobile across countless acres with phenomenal views and scenery.
A comforting feature of the tours is the professional guides. They are Wilderness First Responder certified and equipped with appropriate safety gear, med packs, and survival equipment.
Another perk to booking a tour is that no experience is needed. Arrive 30 minutes before your tour, and they will guide you through the process efficiently.
During the warmer seasons, booking an ATV tour will be a highlight of your vacation. Tours last three hours, and you can rent a Can-Am Commander DPS 700 or XT 1000R that seats two. Also available are the Can-Am Maverick Sport Max which has room for four, while the Can-Am Defender Max 700 seats up to six.
Whether you explore Jordanelle State Park or restaurant hop on e-bikes to places like Melvin's Public House, Uinta Recreation will ensure your Heber City adventure is safe, fun, and economical.
