Watershed

Alta is located in a National Forest and within the Salt Lake City watershed area. Alta shares that watershed and is dedicated to protecting it, along with support from Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake Valley Health Department, the Salt Lake County Sheriff and the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

The Town of Alta administration recognizes the importance of educating the public regarding natural resource issues and has spent considerable effort to mount interpretive signs, build restroom facilities, hire personnel, and develop trails.
