Many great areas, from deep desert canyons to lofty view points, are minutes from either park. Park rangers are glad to help supply information on nearby points of interest. Due to their valley locations and the amenities offered at American Red Cross Mill-sit- e state parks, they make the not only great destinations, but can serve as base camps to explore the mountains and canyons which make Castle Valley famous.

The parks are open and waiting for you to come and enjoy yourself. 8 4y- V. A rr 9 'to f & iy 4 i i & iT Y - 1a INSURE YOUR BOAT &RV WITH 'rf Life Insurance Single Premium Life SEP's IRA's, .
