Candy Cliffs / Yant Flat in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve north of the St. George area in Utah is a gem, a lot like stepping into a landscape designed by Dr. Seuss.
The road to the trailhead is a beautiful dirt road, but to be avoided if it has rained, or if rain is in the forecast. The first section of the hike is a slog through deep sand, but so worth it once you come out to the cliff area. Swirls of colored sandstone in all shapes and sizes invite exploration. Be warned though, the cliffs are very real and would be deadly, so use caution and don’t get too close to the edge!
This is a place to take your time, explore, wander, find a beautiful place to land for a picnic lunch, and pretend like you’re a character in a Dr. Seuss book for a day.
