Red rock and forests of Dixie National Forest.

Dixie National Forest

Dixie National Forest   |  More Than Just Parks
This forest stretches for 170 miles across southern Utah. Red Canyon, one of the most spectacular colored cliff canyons in southern Utah is located in the heart of the Dixie Forest. Visitors can experience its brilliant red spires and cliffs by car or by hiking one of the nature trails in the canyon. Weather-sculpted formations of limestone are contrasted by giant ponderosa pines. In a day's drive, visitors may also enjoy a hike in Pine Valley, see scenic Navajo Lake, fish at Panguitch Lake, tour the east fork of the Sevier River, or travel the scenic Boulder/Grover Road on Boulder Mountain. All areas have camping.
