Good places to camp with dogs?
I have two malamutes, and am looking for any suggestions as to good places to take them camping. My biggest concern is trying to get away from other campers as well as livestock. My younger one isn't a big fan of sheep if you catch my drift. I live in SLC. Any recommendations for next weekend?

Well if you're willing to drive for an hour or so, just head up to the uintas. I'm sure you can find plenty of places without another hiker/camper for miles. If you don't want to drive, i don't really know what to tell you. There are some places up millcreek canyon that you can have all to yourself, but it really all depends on luck, and if your dogs aren't real fond of others, i wouldn't chance it, cause you'll probably see at least a few people on the trail.
Some days all you can do is smile and wait for some kind soul to come pull your ass out of the bind you've gotten yourself into

James,
thanks for your suggestions, I was actually planning on heading out to the deep creeks this weekend. do you think that granite canyon would be a good site to camp with my dogs off leash, or is there better places to camp out there?
don't get me wrong, my dogs get along with other people and dogs just fine, I just want to get away from atv's and such that my dogs like to chase. I hate having to have my dogs on leash just because someone wants to cruise up and down the road on a four wheeler. The other problem, with places like Joe's Valley is that my younger puppy is not good around free range sheep. He quickly returns to his instinctual hunting mode.Tear down Dams, Build up Dreams!

James,
Thanks for the info. As far as what made me want to go out there, it was originally my dad talking about camping out there. He gave me information on a bunch of different places out west earlier this summer, and I spent a weekend a few months ago out in the Marjum Canyon/Notch Peak/Gandy Warm Springs area. I originally had planned on taking my wife and dogs out that way, but when I saw your TR on the Deep Creeks I remembered my dad talking about that area and decided I'd like to go explore that area.
Anyways, thanks again for the info and the pics, I'm really excited about heading out there tomorrow.Tear down Dams, Build up Dreams!
