The friendly and knowledgeable staff have up-to-date information on road conditions and hiking trails that will help visitors maximize their enjoyment when visiting the area. The visitor center also provides information for enjoying and exploring the Dixie National Forest, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Opened to the public in 2005, the center is one of the Department of Interior's first Gold LEED-rated facilities, and is staffed with personnel from the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and Forest Service.
