Deseret Land & Livestock (DLL) is a large cattle ranch near Woodruff, UT that offers a site where stake and ward groups can conduct 3 or 4 day youth pioneer treks. The terrain includes open meadows of prairie grass and sage with rolling hills and small canyons. Elevation of the ranch ranges from 6,500 to 7,500 feet. Groups pull handcarts over approximately 22-26 miles of ranch roads, two tracks, and cross country routes.
DLL supplies the groups with handcarts, water trailers, and porta-johns trailers. They also provide guidance in planning and training leaders. Two missionary couples and two recreation students help oversee groups while they are on the ranch. Individual groups provide their own leadership, itinerary, medical staff, and food.
The ranch schedules two stake groups or three smaller ward groups a week between June and August. There are a number of trek routes on the ranch to prevent groups from interfering with one another during their stay.
