Red Canyon Dixie National Forest Utah

 

 Dixie National Forest is the largest national forest in Utah with almost 2 million acres stretching about 170 miles through southern Utah. Red Canyon is an area of forest that contains spectacular dark red sandstone castles known as hoodoos. These are very different in appearance from the hoodoos just 9 miles away in Bryce National Park. There is a story about Butch Cassidy, who was raised in nearby Circleville, that while he was attending a dance in Panguitch, he got into a brawl over a girl. He thought he had killed the fellow (he was only knocked out) but he hid out from the posse in Red Canyon.

  • I’ve seen hoodoos in Alberta, but these are much more spectacular with that vibrant red color. Thanks for sharing! I might have to go “hide” up there with my posse on my next vacation :)
