Pine Park

Pine Park is located Southwest of Enterprise, Utah on a good dirt road; it's a beautiful spot surrounded by Ponderosa pines in the Dixie National Forest. We are always looking for fun and unique places to explore; away from the hustle and bustle.  Pine Park is a little out of the way, but totally worth the drive.  Saturday we had the whole place to ourselves!


Hebron Cemetery was our first stop

Hebron was inhabited from 1862 to 1902 

In 1902 an earthquake leveled the town


Cute house at Terry Springs Ranch  

Colorful stonework on the old barn

The sky was so pretty 

We are headed to Pine Park

The beginning of the Pine Park Bench 

Our first view of Pine Park .... wow!

 Pine Park Spring at the campground and trailhead

This is where we are headed

It's always fun to find water on our adventures

Be sure to wear sunglasses,
 the sunlight reflecting off the formations was bright!

It was neat to walk around on the compacted volcanic ash

Out in the middle of a pine forest ... amazing!

Valley of hoodoos

Some of the formations had streaks of color

This one had lots of holes

The rock Kent is standing on looks like a skull

This is an interesting one

Different shapes and sizes

This one is embedded with lava rock

Kent uses his walking stick to alert any snakes that we are coming ... HA!

Just a perfect day to be out exploring

We discovered this little slot

We are about to leave Pine Park ... what a sight!
