Over two decades ago, when the threat of development loomed over Castleton Tower's base lands, Utah Open Lands spearheaded a campaign to ensure the preservation of one of Utah's most iconic climbing destinations. As many of you know, the campground at Castleton Tower was closed in March. Utah Open Lands worked with Grand County, providing historic documentation regarding its use, and received approval to reopen under historic guidelines.![]()

Utah Open Lands has addressed access issues to allow for continued sustainable maintenance and wants to remind folks that compliance with historic use is crucial. It’s important now more than ever that users stay within designated campsites, clean up after themselves, and leave the area better than they found it.![]()

Without collective stewardship of the area by all visitors, the possibility of losing overnight access to this space remains. Users are part of the continued protection of this incredible place. Please share this awareness with your peers. Let's continue to enjoy and protect this landscape together.
