## Overview

Price Canyon Recreation Area offers visitors a chance to enjoy cooler
temperatures and the shade of large ponderosa pine trees during the summer.
The recreation area is located on a ridge high above Price Canyon.

## Recreation

The Bristlecone Ridge trail (3.1 miles starting in the north campground loop)
allows visitors to hike through the burned bristlecone forest. Post-fire,
these open grasslands fill with wildflowers in the summer months. There are
two bouldering areas on the way up to the campground, and day use areas at
each campground.

## Natural Features

Situated at an elevation of 7,500 feet, the recreation area is forested with
ponderosa pines and shrubs. The 2021 Bear Fire burned most of the bristlecone
pines in the forest, but the ridge still offers scenic views and some portions
of the forest are intact.
