Red Canyon Images and Information:
Red Canyon is in the Dixie National Forest which is surrounded by much exposed, orange red limestone from the Claron Formation. The rocks are eroded into pinnacles, spires, columns, and hoodoos.
The formations line UT 12 for about 4 miles. The pinnacles, spires, columns, and hoodoos start quite abruptly at the edge of the plateau which is a long escarpment known as the Sunset Cliffs then fade away as the road reaches the flat grasslands on top, and extend several miles north.
Red Canyon is located in Garfield County.
I hope you enjoy viewing my Red Canyon photos.
