Description: 6 campsites. Cross-country hiking to the west to Limestone Ridge and Cold Spring Mountain and to the east to Vermillion Canyon and the colorful badlands along Vermillion Creek. A Fremont rock art site has an accessible trail, a small picnic area, and exhibits on the Fremont culture. Mountain biking on area roads.
Irish Canyon is a relatively small, remote and highly scenic canyon. Twelve of the twenty-two geological formations found in the eastern end
of the Uintah Mountains occur here. The beginning of the canyon is not more than 50 yards wide with steep walls with layers of red, green,
and gray. Outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and Wild Bunch, Matt Warner, Isom Dart and others spent time in the Browns Park vicinity at the
turn of the century. Irish Canyon is designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) for its outstanding scenery, rare plant
communities and geology. This semi-arid country supports sagebrush and pinyon-juniper woodlands with several rare plant communities.
Summers are generally warm and dry with cool nights. Elevations range from 6100 to 8636 feet.
Location: From west of Maybell on U.S. 40 turn northwest onto CO 318 to Moffat County Road 10N (41 miles)
which runs through Irish Canyon (4.5 miles from CO 318).
