Take the wheel and head off-road from Kanab into Dixie National Forest for close-up views of Bryce-style hoodoos and empty canyon rims. This full-day UTV tour delivers remote overlooks, short hikes, and accessible high-country panoramas without entering the Park itself.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease into the Polaris, the engine’s low rumble mixing with wind through pinyon and ponderosa as you push onto an old forest road. Trees open, and ahead the rim line unfolds: clusters of pink limestone hoodoos rising like jagged teeth, the high plateau of Dixie National Forest stretching toward the Sevier River valley. The cliffs don’t whisper—they dare you to step closer.

History
The high plateaus here were shaped by uplift and long-term erosion; local roads follow old ranching and logging routes that now provide access to remote overlooks.
Conservation
Stay on designated roads and avoid trampling fragile soil around hoodoos; off-road access on public lands carries a responsibility to pack out trash and minimize erosion.
