We found this place purely by accident. Pulled off to stretch our legs and saw the sign along the highway. Some have said you don't need 4-wheel drive but without it we might have gotten stuck in the heavy sand. Quite a walk over the river to the lone standing building. Beautiful colors and interesting history.

Great movie set till someone decided it would make kindlin when they burned the set down about three years ago and the BLM doesn't want it rebuilt.

Great family adventure. Take water. The building burned down a few times due to arsonists, but when they are built it is well worth your time. My family loved the side trip to Lake Powell. It is worth the time and heat if you visit in the Summer.

The short drive out to the Old Paria town site is well worth it. The colors will awe you, Weather permitting, we always try to take visitors here.

The drive to Old Paria is beautiful, you follow a red dirt road which is very scenic and at the end is this old town.

A 6 mile drive down a dirt road brought us to the location of an old Mormon settlement, later made into a movie set. Arson claimed the old movie buidlings, but the mountains and desert are a beautiful sight. It can be very hot, as everything is in full sun, so bring plenty of water. The mountains surrounding the site... More

The old/rebuilt movie set had a fire, it might have been rebuilt though. Even if it was, it is worth your time to stop by and check out the scenery. There will be a sign off highway 89. Most maps show the area too. It is probably about 4 miles or so to get back to the movie set area.... More

The moutains here are beautiful. The dirt road is easy to drive on without a 4-wheeler. However, the old movie set burned down. The cemetery is still there. You won't believe the colors in the mountains!
