The
Dixie National Forest, the largest in the state, stretches
for 170 miles across southern Utah. The Dixie National
Foest straddles the divide between the Great Basin and
the Colorado River. Red Canyon, one of the most spectacular
colored cliff canyons in southern Utah is located in the
heart of Dixie National Forest. Visitors to Dixie National
Forest can experience its brilliant red spires and cliffs
by car or by hiking one of the nature trails in the canyon.
In this unique environment at Dixie National Forest, weather
sculpted formations of Wasatch limestone are contrasted
by giant ponderosa pines. Red Canyon is only one example
of the Dixie's outstanding scenic features. In a day's
drive, visitors to Dixie National Forest may also choose
to 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. These areas all have camping facilities. Pine
Valley, Ashdown Gorge, and Box-Death Hollow Wildernesses
offer backpacking adventures. Come visit beautiful Dixie
National Forest.
