    Definitely a hidden gem!! I stumbled upon Fish Lake when scouting out the best location from which…read moreto watch the Annular Solar Eclipse (10/2023). What a find!! I inadvertently discovered that this is also home to Pando The Trembling Giant - which is the world's largest tree - something else I've had on my must-see list for years!! Win win!! This national forest is beautiful! You've got mountains surrounded by a massive Aspen clone (Pando) and Utah's largest natural mountain lake with the clearest water I've ever seen! Not to mention all the birds - but most especially the Mountain Bluebird - also known as the "bluest of the Bluebirds" and one I've been chasing for YEARS - we found almost 20 here!! Jackpot!! We had such a fantastic time watching the eclipse here - and we were totally surprised that we had the place all to ourselves pretty much - this place is very off the radar (luckily). There are several campgrounds surrounding the south entrance but the larger one is under construction. Luckily the bathrooms were still open - but not stocked so bring TP lol! The thing I loved most - apart from the bluebirds - was Pando!! What a fascinating natural wonder! Currently the world's largest tree - but used to also be the world's largest living organism - until the giant fungus mats of Oregon were discovered lol. Pando is an "Aspen clone" - it looks like a huge forest of beautiful Aspen trees but is actually all one giant organism - very cool! And a breathtaking sight, especially in the fall when the leaves change to golden orange colors! There are tons of hiking trails and even ATV trails - but you need a Utah certification so be aware. Fishing is also a highlight here. Their website says they accept America the Beautiful passes here - but I couldn't find out how much a day pass costs and there were no pay stations or boxes when entering. Roads are well maintained and there are lots of viewpoints and parking areas. Easy to find - just plug "Pando" into your GPS and it takes you right to it. The drive in is gorgeous as well. And it sits between Richfield (a great town to base yourself out of) and Capital Reef National Park which is well worth a visit! Can't go wrong in this area - it'll keep you busy for days!!

    We decided to take highway 153 from Beaver to Juntion, UT. It was definitely out of our way but…read moreworth every minute. With the changing colors of the trees and Beaver River flowing every corner took my breath away. The weather was perfect the entire way. There are camp and fishing areas all up and down the highway including sxs trails and more. Highway 153 is closed during winter in some areas so make sure you check your route ahead of time. I recommend a high clearance vehicle if you're planning to do the entire drive through with the last 25 miles or so being a well maintained dirt road. Such a beautiful area.
