The Dr Creek Campground Section covers about 9.8 acres of Pando’s expanse. The section derives it names from a seasonal campground. The area  host a leg of the Old Spanish Trail used by colonialists moving goods between New Mexico and California.  Before colonization, the Paiute called the land home, and have treaty lands nearby.   Archeological evidence suggests ancient hunters knews these lands, while in more recent times, indigenous people summered in and around this area and used fire to promote crops like amaranth. In terms of the landscape, the section features a steep grade along Utah Highway 25 and is littered with volcanic boulders. The area flattens out toward the bottom creating a natural amphitheater to watch birds and wildlife in Coots Slough each dawn and dusk. This section features a mix of mostly older branches of the tree with some new growth, especially in and around volcanic debris.
