WildCat Information Center & Rest Area
Wildcat is managed by the Fremont River Ranger District, with the help of wonderful seasonal volunteers. Although the shelves of the Wildcat Information Center are currently filled with maps, books, and pamphlets, the building was originally built as a ranger station in the late 1930's. The Forest Service later converted this quaint little white house into a visitor center, which operates seasonally from June to September (weather permitting). For travelers journeying between the small Utah towns of Torrey and Boulder, the Wildcat Rest Area and Information Center serves as a convenient stop along UT-12. Visitors can take a moment to stop at the rest area to stretch their legs, explore the retail offerings, or utilize the restroom facilities before continuing their journey. While cell phone reception can be unreliable on Boulder Mountain, an emergency radio service to Loa is accessible at Wildcat during its operational months.
