A little piece of Paradise that is not easy to find Thanks to Jim and Gayle, we found Red Cliffs recreation area. We have been coming to SW Utah for close to 30 years and we never knew about this place. There are very few signs so you must know where you are going before hand. And we hardly ever know where we are going. :-) |
Once you find the correct interstate exit and the access road, there are two small tunnels to negotiate |
Goldie had to "suck it in" |
A picturesque campground with just 12 sites sits at the base of the cliffs |
Mark wanted to work on his blog post, so I did a solo hike up Quail Creek on the Red Reef Trail |
It was not always a trail |
An oasis in the desert |
This part looked interesting |
Coming up was easy |
I soon ran into a tangle of boulders and vegetation blocking my way |
Going back down was spooky. A pleasant afternoon of exploration |

That is a beautiful hike. We could not work up the courage to climb over the rock with the rope so thanks for showing me what was back there.
I can't believe Mark missed it.

Beautiful rock formations. I would go there just to see all I could within (for me) walking distance. Lovely ictures!
