Fall in Utah is magical. Destinations like Guardsman Pass, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and the Alpine Scenic Loop come alive with vibrant fall foliage. And while these destinations are certainly bucket-list-worthy, there are many other destinations that should not be overlooked during this time of year. Duck Creek Village in southern Utah is one of these spots. While popular in the summer, in the fall you can enjoy peace, quiet, and some of the most beautiful fall foliage in Utah.
Duck Creek Village is a small community that sits right off Utah Scenic Highway 14 in southern Utah. It is tucked away in the Dixie National Forest.
Duck Creek is an outdoor lover’s paradise with many activities for the entire family. I recommend one of the many hiking trails in the area to capture fall foliage views.
Don’t forget to visit Mammoth Cave, which is actually one of the largest lava tubes in Utah. There are more than 2,200 feet of passages and scientists believe the lava is only a few thousand years old.
Plus, Duck Creek Village is also home to all types of charming vacation rentals where you can stay and truly immerse yourself in the vibrant fall foliage.
