Cedar Mountain Day Use Site

Cedar Mountain Day Use Site offers a unique escape into the rugged landscape of the Southwest. Situated amidst the joint-fractured Buckhorn Conglomerate, the area features a fascinating network of narrow passages and tilted rock formations. These natural features make it an ideal playground for those who enjoy scrambling and exploring, while the scattered pinyon pines provide welcome shade and cooler temperatures during the warmer months of the year.

The setting provides breathtaking vistas, with expansive views of the San Rafael Swell stretching out below and the distant peaks of the Henry and La Sal Mountains framing the horizon. This primitive site is managed by the BLM and is best suited for tent campers and those looking for a simple, off-the-grid car camping experience. Because it is a primitive location, there are no hookups or specific amenities provided on-site.

This location is perfect for travelers seeking solitude and a genuine connection with the Utah wilderness. Whether you are planning a scenic picnic or a quiet night under the stars, Cedar Mountain serves as a peaceful base for exploring the unique geology and high-altitude beauty of the region.
