Utah’s Largest Forest
By Linda Tancs
The largest national forest in Utah, Dixie National Forest occupies almost 2 million acres and stretches for about 170 miles. It straddles the divide between the Great Basin and the Colorado River in southern Utah. Whether you traverse it by highways or trails, you’ll be met with scenery ranging from colorful desert canyon gorges to high mountain forests, plateaus and alpine lakes. There are informational signs on trails, scenic overlooks as well as visitor centers to tell you about the area you’re visiting.
