Scenery ranges from desert canyon gorges of amber, rose, and sienna to high mountain forests, plateaus, and alpine lakes. The forest is also part of the world-renowned landscapes of Southern Utah. Nationally recognized highways and trails course through the forest and provide ready access to the distinctive natural highlights of the forest landscape.
