Manti-La Sal National Forest

Manti-La Sal National Forest is a large federally managed forest that covers more than a million acres across the central and southeastern parts of Utah and the extreme western edge of Colorado. The forest stretches through a wide range of environments, from the forested highlands of the Wasatch Plateau to the high peaks of the La Sal Mountains, the second-highest mountain range in Utah. The landscape is unusually varied for a single national forest, combining cool montane forests of pine, aspen, and spruce with red rock desert canyons, sandstone plateaus, and remote wilderness country near the Colorado Plateau. Several famous national parks sit alongside or near its boundaries, including Arches, Canyonlands, and Bears Ears. The forest also holds meaningful recreation, scenic drives, and wilderness value. The Dark Canyon Wilderness on the Monticello Ranger District is the forest's only designated wilderness area, and segments of the forest are included within the Bears Ears National Monument, underscoring its role as both a working forest and a protected landscape of national significance.
