| description |
The Creek Pasture Group Site at Creek Pasture Campground is ideal for groups wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek Corridor or to be close to Canyonlands National Park. Except for three Bureau of Land Management developed recreational facilities and the Dugout Ranch, the Indian Creek Corridor is generally primitive and undeveloped. The Indian Creek area is a popular filming area because of its classical "western" look. Both commercial advertisements and major motion pictures have been filmed in the area. |

The valley is bisected by both the major thoroughfare of Highway 211 and Indian Creek itself. From Highway 211 the interior of the valley is a classic western landscape with panoramic vistas, towering sandstone cliffs and spires, and rolling grasslands. |
