Popular horse country.
Some great hikes, river, Mtn Biking, river, A very unique area with some pretty amazing sites.

Climb on top of arch
Mtn Bike trails out of Bandy Creek (Several loops, up to 30 miles of trail):

Sweet trails (biking, hiking, horseback riding)
Lots of rock cropping's, caves, etc.....

Unique sites are spaced out and you have to get out and make day trips, but really cool & well worth it!
