Description
On your way to Bruce Canyon you need to spend some time in this beautiful canyon.
Red Canyon is located along Scenic Byway 12, just 9 miles from Bryce Canyon. Passing through it is required to get to Bryce Canyon National Park from the west. From the east, stay on Highway 12, past the junction of highways 12 and 63 for 9 miles, to find Red Canyon. As part of Dixie National Forest, rather than a national park or monument, there are no entry fees to drive through or hike in Red Canyon.
Red Canyon, a spectacular oasis of rock nested in a vast forest known to locals as "Dixie." The two-million acre, 170 mile long forest ranges from Red Canyon's arid desertscape of sandstone hoodoos to a lush high altitude forest on Cedar Mountain.

Thanks for the composition comment and the LF. I had to walk a little to get this angle.
