Reviews of Red Cliffs Recreation Area
"The map doesn't give you any idea where to find the most iconic site (as far as I believe) to the water reservoir and tiny waterfall (if there is enough rain). Take the Red Reef trail all the way at the back of the road before crossing into the camp site main area. You can park just before the little bridge to see the sites shown in my review. So beautiful!"
"We loved this place so much we visited two different days to make sure we saw the best trails! We first parked outside of the camping area in order to get a full hiking experience up to the archaeology find. It’s amazing to see the contrast between wildfire damage and the new growth breaking through. There is a water refilling station in the parking lot outside of the park (where RVs can park). Definitely make sure you are well prepared with water and sunscreen since some of the trails do not have a lot of shade. Be aware of snakes and other critters, and PLEASE where bug spray. We encountered some areas with tall grass, so be aware of ticks and whatnot. The dinosaur site was nifty, but we really enjoyed the archaeology site more. FYI: It is a very dusty trail, so if you don’t want very dirty toes towards the end, where some close-toed shoes!"
"Zion is great, but this place is spectacular, especially because it's not at all crowded and it invites the whole family on an adventure! We've had almost a whole day of rock climbing and scrambling and it was just amazing!"
"I've only been here in the fall, when there isn't much water but it is still a beautiful area. My kids love to come here to climb and explore. Hikes are easy, but it can get very hot, so make sure you have water."
"Great day use area! I believe it's $5 for the day. A couple of nice trails to hike. The red reef trail leads back to a waterfall (when there's water flowing) and you can climb over using a rope that is attached to the rocks and continue into the canyon."
