 The multi-colored cliffs common to Capitol Reef National Park and this region inspired the Indians who once lived here to name it the Land of the Sleeping Rainbow.
WAYNE COUNTY Utah, USA, is comprised of 97% public lands with a wide range of scenic attractions: two National Parks, two National Forests, Utah's first All American Road (Highway 12), three Scenic Byways, three Scenic Backways and numerous Historic Sites. Spectacular experiences await those interested in hiking, biking, four-wheeling, fishing, boating, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, hunting and camping, as well as auto touring! And, if you find you are sharing a highway with a herd of cattle or sheep, please slow down and take the time to reflect upon, and enjoy, the unique rural western heritage of this area.
SUMMERS are mild allowing a variety of outdoor activities. FALL brings spectacular color contrasts - aspen groves with shades of red and gold complement stately green pines on the mountains of Dixie and Fishlake National Forests. During WINTER months you can hike in the desert or snowmobile in the mountains. SPRING offers ideal weather for long distance hiking or biking. Cactus and other wild flowers bring spring color to the desert. Click here for more detailed climate information.
