A popular campground up Logan Canyon is getting a complete makeover thanks to new federal funds, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest officials have announced.
The Guinavah/Malibu campground will receive a little over $2 million from the Great American Outdoors Act for a host of renovations, including expanding parking space and a repaired amphitheater. The GAOA legislation âresponds to the growing $5 billion backlogâ of deferred maintenance on outdoor projects, including $1.5 billion worth of items like campgrounds, according to the U.S. Forest Serviceâs website.
In an interview, David Ashby, recreation manager with the Logan Ranger District, explained how these types of maintenance projects differ from smaller ones.

From herds of wild bison to sprawling sculptures that fit right into Utah s epic landscapes to family-friendly old west history to ski towns that offer thrills and frills, there s a little something for everyone. And the best part of all is that you can fit each of those adventures into a quick there-and-back-again if you re short on time. We narrowed it down to the top ten day trips from Salt Lake City.
