Northeast of St. George, UT, I read about a hike to Yant Flat\/Candy Cliffs that looked interesting. It was a long drive on a dirt forest service road from the Silver Reef area, but the road turned out to be very well maintained (definitely not something to be attempted after rain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the parking area, the trail is very sandy through scrub juniper and pine, with views of the Pine Valley Mountains behind. It\u2019s the kind of trail that makes you wonder why you bothered driving out there \u2026 but it\u2019s well worth it to come out of the scrub forest to the unique cliffs and rock formations that beg to be explored at trail\u2019s end. Like the Fire Wave at Valley of Fire State Park, the color of the rock will be different depending on time of day and season. While it wasn\u2019t as colorful when I was there as I had seen in photos, it was still incredible to spend the day scrambling around on the rock formations that reminded me of a Dr. Seuss book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 main sections to explore. Along the rock areas there aren\u2019t really \u201ctrails\u201d per se but large areas to wander and scout and wonder at. I spent several hours simply letting my feet take me wherever they wanted to go, with the only rule being \u201cdon\u2019t go down what you aren\u2019t certain you can get back up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
