Overview

Named after an old sawmill that was once along the route, Mitchell Mill is a scenic loop within the Dixie National Forest. The trail leads to several worthy, primitive campsites, away from the more populated camping areas. Since the elevation is around 10,000 feet, the summer nighttime temperatures are ideal for camping. The route travels through scenic meadows with clusters of trees and lava rocks. The wide-open meadows offer numerous opportunities to pull out a chair and take some time to observe the area wildlife. With the easy access to highway 14, the camping along the trail makes for an ideal location for a base camp while you're exploring this memorable region of Utah.
