About
Price Canyon Recreation Area sits at 7,500 feet elevation on a ridge high above Price Canyon, offering a cooler escape among ponderosa pines during Utah's hot summer months. Managed by the BLM Price Field Office, the campground features 12 individual sites in a south loop and 2 group sites accessible from the north loop. All sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and flat tent areas, with many enjoying shade from the surrounding pines. The 3.1-mile Bristlecone Ridge trail begins at the north campground loop and passes through areas burned in the 2021 Bear Fire, now filled with wildflowers during summer. Two bouldering areas are located on the road leading up to the campground. Day-use picnic areas are available at each loop. The access road is narrow and steep with tight turns and switchbacks, limiting total vehicle length to approximately 40 feet. Due to snow, the road is gated and inaccessible in winter and early spring, though visitors can hike, ski, or snowshoe up from Highway 6.
