I’ve seen photos of Red Reef Trail several times, and decided to explore. The trailhead starts at the Red Cliffs Campground, and meanders on a well-maintained trail up into a canyon with beautiful cliffs surrounding. A short side trail leads to a large pool.
Continuing on the trail, the canyon narrows and finally ends in a pool with walls on both side. Moki steps are dug into the right side of the wall. Moki (moqui) steps are hand and toe holds carved into sandstone surfaces. I decided that turning around at this gorgeous pool in the canyon was just right for me. Some day I might head up the moki steps… some day.
From the campground there are several other beautiful areas to walk, a short hike to dinosaur prints, and a great place to wander and just be with nature.
