A rustic mountain hamlet at 8,400 feet on Scenic Byway 14, surrounded by Dixie National Forest meadows, lava fields, and aspen groves. Long a filming location for classic Hollywood westerns, today it is a base for ATV riding in summer and snowmobiling in winter, with cabins, lodges, and a handful of cafes.
