I don't think so. The way to see this country is to hike up one of the canyons. Most popular is South Cedar Ridge Canyon, most scenic is Willow Creek and most interesting is Cottonwood Creek, immediately west of Richfield (but expect to get wet feet hiking this one. I believe this part of the Pahvant Range is an unrealized scenic wonder that ranks right up with the best Southern Utah has to offer. If trailhead access was improved and OHVs were limited to select routes on the ridges and kept out of the canyons, this area would become a dandy non-motorized complement to the county's reputation as an ATV destination and attract people who currently drive by Richfield on their way to the "red rock" country.
