Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest

Managed by USDA Forest Service

On the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, a Non-Commercial Group Use permit is required for groups of 75 or more, including weddings, and applications should reach the district office at least 45 days ahead. The forest does not state a fee or a rule for smaller weddings, so check with the ranger district first.

Filming and photography do not need a separate permit when they are part of an activity already allowed or authorized on National Forest System lands, such as a wedding or family reunion, as long as there is no resource damage.
