The deep sandstone canyons, mountaintops, meadows, lakes, and streams of the Manti-La Sal National Forest have beckoned people for ages. From the Abajos and La Sals in southeastern Utah to the Wasatch Plateau and Sanpitch mountains hundreds of miles away in central Utah, the Forest is a welcome retreat.
Those who seek quiet solitude can find it here. Intrepid adventurers will discover mountains to scale, trails to explore, waters to fish, and woods where they can hunt. Scenic byways and backways summon motorists looking for stunning vistas. Abundant camping areas are perfect for creating family traditions. What you may not know . . .
Think of the Manti-La Sal as a group of far-flung islands of forest that are scattered from central Utah to southeastern Utah and western Colorado. The Sanpitch Mountains and the Wasatch Plateau are closest to the urban areas of the Wasatch Front. Far to the southeast are two other islands of Forest, the La Sal mountains, and the Abajo/Elk Ridge mountains.
Passport In Time Volunteers joined Forest Service and Snow College employees during August to make repairs and help document important historic artifacts at the GBEEC in Ephraim Canyon.
