We had a WONDERFUL rendezvous in Spring 2008 and hope all will come this year to join in all the fun at the 3rd annual Blue Mountain Festival of the Old West!!
The Festival is held each year in Dodge Canyon, just south of Monticello, Utah. Dodge Canyon is beautifully surrounded on each side by pinion pine trees, wonderful moss covered rocks sprinkled in and around towering ponderosa trees. Scrub oak, sage brush, and cedar trees make up the foreground with native grasses in camp and trade areas.
Directions: Monticello is located in South Eastern Utah, where Highway 191 and Highway 491 intersect. Travel South of Monticello on Hwy. 191 six miles. Turn left on Dodge Road. Then follow the Dodge Road and Festival signs 1 ½ miles to festival entrance. If you are coming from the south, travel north from Blanding for approximately 15 miles. Turn right on Dodge Road. Then follow the Dodge Road and Festival signs.

This year we will be downsizing some, yet we still have a fun filled weekend planned of Camping, Black Powder Shooting, and Hawk & Knife activities.
Prices:
Camping - Free
Black Powder Shoot/Hawk & Knife - Small fee (will be posted at a later date)
All fees go toward prizes and awards!
