SOUTHERN UTAH RECREATION MAP

Hiking: Explore Bryce on some of the 50 miles of hiking and nature trials throughout the park. The easiest trail is the 1/2-mile (one way) section of the Rim Trail between Sunset and Sunrise Points. Another favorite hike is the Navajo Loop, a moderately strenuous hike that begins at Sunset Point and descends 520 feet through a slot canyon known as “Wall Street.”

Horseback Riding: Spring through fall, wranglers lead 2-hour and 4-hour horse and mule rides into the Bryce Amphitheater along scenic horse trails. Absolutely one of the best ways to experience Bryce Canyon.

Scenic Drive:The 37 mile round trip drive through the park has numerous viewpoints where you can stop and enjoy the scenery. If you only have a few hours inside the park, stop at Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce points. Have all day, go all the way to Rainbow Point and take in all 13 viewpoints on your return trip. Bryce Canyon faces east, so it’s easier to pull into the view-points on your way back because you’re not crossing traffic.

Star Gazing: Boasting clear mountain air and a location far from city lights and air pollution, Bryce Canyon has some of the starriest night skies in the country. The ranger staff provides several night programs, including telescope view-

ing, constellation tours, full moon hikes and astronomy talks throughout the year.

Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing: Winter brings plenty of snow to Bryce Can-yon. Ski-set trails inside the park are inter-connected with groomed ski tracks at nearby Ruby’s Inn Nordic Center. Hiking trails be-come a wonderland for snowshoeing with guided excursions often offered by park ser-vice staff.

Ranger Activities: Ever wonder why the rocks are red in Bryce Canyon? Where they got the name Hoodoo? What’s a deer’s fa-vorite food? The Ranger programs are a great way to expand your exploration of Bryce Canyon and they’re free too.

Schedules for these activities are available at the Bryce Canyon Visitor Center.

Hiking: Zion offers many paths that range from short “leg stretchers” to exten-sive back country treks. Some trails are even accessible for wheelchairs. A great walking trail is Weeping Rock, a short jaunt up a paved hill to a rock alcove with hanging gardens. The best hike is the Emerald Pools, it’s lower, middle and upper pools are sectioned so you can customize your trip from a fairly easy walk to a more adventuresome hike. Angel’s Landing is a four mile hike that’s strenuous but extremely rewarding for those with no fear of heights.

Kolob Canyons is considered the most conveniently located national park in all of Utah-

it’s right off Interstate 15. Yet, even with its great location Kolob remains a little known se-

cret for most visitors to scenic southern Utah. While in Kolob, you’ll discover soaring cliffs

of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons just waiting to be explored. The word Kolob

means “star closest to heaven” and considering Kolob’s serene surroundings, it just might be.

Hiking: The easiest hike is the Timber Creek Trail which is located at the Overlook Picnic Area. Timber Creek is about one mile round trip and offers incredible views of the Finger Canyons. The Middle Fork of Taylor Creek is a moderately strenuous trail that leads to a scenic double arch alcove. A great day hike, the world’s largest free standing arch can be found seven miles up the LaVerkin Creek trail.

Picnics: Kolob is wildly popular for afternoon picnics. A great area is located at the Canyon Overlook with its incredible panoramic view of the finger canyons. Keep your camera ready because the light in the afternoons and near twilight can be the best time to photograph Kolob.

Scenic Drive: Kolob is one of the few national parks that can be expe-rienced from the comfort of your own vehicle (but why would you want to limit yourself?). The short scenic drive is only 12 miles round trip. There are several pull-off points along the route and an interpretive guidebook is available at the Visitor Center.

Ranger-led activities: During the summer months, park rangers offer several ranger led activities including guided hikes and nature walks. Check at the Visitor Center for a schedule.

Cedar Breaks is a spectacular world of rainbow hued rock formations millions of years in the mak-

ing. From its high vantage points, clear vistas extend hundreds of miles featuring lush alpine for-

ests and serene wildflower meadows. Not as crowded as its cousins Bryce and Zion, Cedar Breaks is

the best place to reconnect with nature and seek solace from the hustle and bustle of the real world.

1-800-354-4849 | www.scenicsouthernutah.com 8

Late September, the fall colors surround-ing Cedar Breaks really start to shine. Recently, USA Today rated the Cedar Breaks area as one of their “Top 5 Places to See Fall Colors”.

When you walk into the courtyard of the Utah Shakespeare Festival, you suddenly realize why its

host community of Cedar City is called “Festival City, USA.” The frivolity of the free, nightly Green-

show is so energetic you think you’ve entered a time warp. The Greenshow sets the stage for a

Tony Award winning theatre experience. The outdoor Adams Theatre features Shakespeare’s finest

plays performed under the stars, while the Randall Jones Theatre features more contemporary works.

U T A HSHAKESPEAREF E S T I V A L

9 www.scenicsouthernutah.com | 1-800-354-4849

The Plays: Six plays are presented in repertory each summer season in two grand theaters: the outdoor Adams Shakespearean Theatre, which is a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre; and the indoor Randall L Jones Theatre, a stunning, modern facility that features contemporary works. In the Fall, the Festival presents three more world-class plays in the Randall Jones Theatre including one Shakespeare play, a musical and a comedy.

Nightly Greenshow: Whether you are a theater lover or not, the Greenshow is a “must do” while in Cedar City. The complimentary Greenshow is held in the courtyard surrounding Adams Theatre just prior to the evening theater performance during the summer season. There’s music, dance, storytelling, magic, juggling, snacks and food. Great for kids of all ages.

Backstage Tours & Seminars: The Backstage Tour is an oppor-tunity to step behind the scenes to learn inside information about the Festival and visit various production areas, including costume, makeup, and scene shops. Patrons can also attend one of the Literary Seminars to participate in lively give-and-take discussions between the play directors and audience members.

Location: The Utah Shakespeare Festival is on the campus of Southern Utah University, 351 W. University Blvd in Cedar City.

Season: The festival summer season generally runs from late June through Labor Day weekend and the fall season is from mid September through October.

Parowan

Parowan Gap Petroglyphs: Wind, water and sand carved out this natural passageway that was once used as a major thoroughfare by ancient Native Americans. The different cultures are evident by the hundreds of petroglpyhs carved into the Gap. Researchers have identified solar and lunar calendars, plus hunting and cultural glyphs. The Gap also provided early civilizations with a solar and lunar calendaring system and is one of a few locations in the world where various solar time events are marked by shadows cast by the natural rock formations. The sun, moon and planets rise and set in specific notches in that Gap as indicated by petroglpyhs. Information about the Parowan Gap can be obtained from the Parowan and Iron County/Cedar City Visitor Centers. Observation events take place throughout the year so be sure to check our calendar of events at www.scenicsouthernutah.com.

Scenic Byways & Backways

As Robert Frost once said, “And I took the road less traveled, and that made all the difference.” Utah’s Scenic Byways and Backways are for those seeking panoramas worlds away from the mainstream. These highways and backcountry paths offer outstanding scenic beauty and recreational opportunities, plus significant cultural and historical elements.

A Scenic Byway is a well maintained road or highway that is suitable for travel by most passenger vehicles. Popular south-ern Utah Byways include Cedar Mountain U-14, Cedar Breaks National Monument U-148, Kolob Canyons Scenic Route, Zion National Park U- 9, and the nationally designated “All American Highway” U-12 through the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, and the recently designated “Patchwork Parkway” Hwy 143 through Brian Head.

Scenic Backways are back country roads with surfaces that vary from pavement to gravel. Notable Backways include Kolob Res-ervoir, Dry Lakes, Hole In-The-Rock, and Smithsonian Butte. It’s advisable to bring preparedness items such as food, water, spare tire, cell phone, fuel and maps while traveling any Scenic Backway. Always check road and weather conditions before embarking on your journey. Maps and detailed descriptions about the Scenic Byways and Backways can be obtained at most Utah visitor centers or online at www.utah.com/byways.
