Dixie National Forest

Hiking at Zion National Park, Utah

Occupying almost 2 million acres, stretching 170 miles across southern Utah, it is the largest National Forest in Utah and straddles the divide between the Great Basin & the Colorado River. The southern rim of the Great Basin, near the Colorado River, provides spectacular scenery.

The Forest is characterized by four distinctive geographic areas. High altitude forests in gently rolling hills characterize the Markagunt, Pansaugunt, and Aquarius Plateaus. Boulder Mountain, one of the largest high-elevation plateaus in the United States, is dotted with hundreds of small lakes 10,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level.

Three National Parks and two National Monuments border the Forest. The scenic beauty for which these areas were set aside prevails over much of the Forest. Red sandstone formations of Red Canyon, Hell's Backbone Bridge and the view into Death Hollow are breathtaking. See for miles into three different states from the top of Powell Point. Boulder Mountain and the many different lakes provide opportunities for hiking, fishing, and viewing outstanding scenery.
