Remote primitive camping with campfires
We've backpacked Zion and the Grand Canyon and while it was nice, I grew up on the east where campfires are more of the norm.
My brother in law and our kids would like to backpack Western Colorado and eastern Utah, and do so this time on land that allows small campfires.
Can anyone recommend some good backpacking itineraries that would allow is to end the day next to a campfire?
Thanks in advance for any replies,
Fred

Are small campfires allowed in Canyonlands? And what about Arches? Those are the two premier spots in eastern Utah. If fires are ok there, then that's where you outta consider first.
If fires aren't allowed in those places then I'd head for Cedar Mesa and/or Grand Staircase.

With the cooler weather, I'd recommend considering the San Rafael Swell area. Plenty of great hikes and slot canyons, loads of wild horses and donkeys to be seen and campfires are permissible.

<sigh> Places you can have a campfire in Utah:
Designated picnic areas in Sugarhouse Park.
Everywhere else is off limits.
Have fun roasting those marshmallows over your Coleman lamp.

I camped somewhere near/in canyons of the ancients utah CO border where there is/was no campfire restrictions in any literature given to me by Monument employees!
However considering you are not gonna haul youre own wood the only place ive seen gathering allowed was in Sequoia Natl park in camp sites only!
