Don't miss this incredible experience to stay inside a rock. Your rooms have been hand-carved and blasted by your host from a 6,000' foot stand-alone boulder with a private cave entrance, patio, and complete with a 10' foot deep natural swimming pool and waterslide. The cave stay at the Bedrock Homestead is noted by visitors as a highlight of southern Utah, and is a perfect fit if you're seeking some downtime during your vacation, getting a step away, finding some adventure, and experiencing something that's completely unique. Grandfathered into the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the 40 acre creek-fed homestead offers hiking from the backdoor, and from the roof of the rock house, a sweeping view of the canyon, sunset and brilliant star show.

Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.
