Dixie National Forest, National forest with red sandstone formations in Utah, United States.
The forest extends across 170 miles of southern Utah, featuring pine forests, red rock canyons, and elevations from 2,800 to 11,322 feet.
The United States Forest Service established this protected area in 1906, naming it after Mormon settlers who called their local region Dixie.
Archaeological sites within the forest preserve Native American artifacts and settlement traces that date back several thousand years.
The forest maintains multiple camping areas, visitor centers in Cedar City, Escalante, Pine Valley, and Powell, providing extensive information for outdoor activities.
Boulder Mountain contains hundreds of small lakes at elevations between 10,000 and 11,000 feet, making it an exceptional high-altitude plateau.
