Nestled into the base of the mountain, the Pyramid Ridge Campground gets its name from the geologic features that tower above it. Campers will get to experience sunrise and sunset in one of the most beautiful locations that Cedar City, UT has to offer. Large sandstone monoliths emerge out of the mountain in multiple locations, adding beautiful red, orange and yellow contrast to the green pinyon-juniper forest that blankets the mountain side.
