Where can I find forests like pic related in ID/WY/UT area? I know ID/WY border near island park has one. Are there any others?
Looking for winter /out/ places that arn't steep mountains.

>people walking through campsite
pick 1. especially if the "people" are asian tourists, who it's well known never go more than 300 yards form their bus.

Anon a large part of the old growth forests in the Northwest look like this. Usually in the foothills of the Cascades before the big mountains start.

High elevation plateaus and basins. Examples are; Grand Mesa (CO), South Park (CO), North Park (CO), Middle Park (CO), Wasatch Plateau (UT), Yellowstone Plateau (WY), Island Park (ID), parts of the Coconino plateau (AZ), all of the Mogollon plateau (AZ), most of the Kaibab plateau (AZ). Pic related is on part of the Coconino Plateau, at 6,900 ft asl, near the Mogollon plateau. Can drive for 200 miles one way on both.

If you're in Utah then your best bet other than Wasatch range is forested valleys and basins in the Uintas. Most of Utah's mountains are pretty steep.

At Moss Creek near the south rim, it was like 6 mile hike. Also fire ban was cringe.

That's the reason I'm asking, I loved the forests near Island park and would like to find one closer.
Trying to get offtrail in northern UT is annoying because of the steepness.
Pic is one of my favorite summer spots, but I can't get there now without a 20 miles snowmobile ride.

The northern Uintas are a little more gentle sloping than the southern side. All I can think of is areas around southern Uinta co WY like Meeks Cabin Dam, but it's still hard to get to and snowed in. There are probably closer areas that I don't know of though, they'll probably be smaller forested valleys in the Wasatch and Uintas. Utah doesn't really have any other large forested plateaus other than the Wasatch plateau, to my knowledge.

North slop is where I have been looking aswell, it's 101 miles to Bear river lodge. I'm afraid of getting out there and not being able to navigate dirt roads. I have to atleast drive a little on dirt to get into the NF proper.
