Red Cliffs Recreation Area
Located north of St George, near Leeds just off of I-15.
There's a great, short little hike that the kids loved, heading up the little stream that flows through the campground. I would say it is a half mile in to the larger waterfall, maybe less. We hiked to three different falls though, which look like they would double as great water slides in warmer weather.
The trail is very easy to follow. Even though it crosses the stream several times, it's easy to remain dry at each crossing.

It had a decent amount of people there, going on a Monday helped a little too.

Once you pass the moki steps the majority of people dissappear and there is some cool stuff up in their. Last weekend when we did Boltergiest, we almost just headed downstream and have somebody pick us up at Red Cliffs. I estimated it about 4 miles on Google Earth, but I bet there is some thick bushwacking along the way. Anybody have any experience with doing that?

I've explorer up there quite a bit and it's not too exciting. The canyon opens up dramatically and has lots of bushes and thorns and minor obstacles to scramble over. As just a hike it's something to do I guess...but I wouldn't make it a destination though but it is really pretty, especially this time of year with the stream. I think they close it or divert the water sometime in may right?

It's a good place to ride in the winter when everything up north is covered in snow. My youngest daughter went down to Dixie for school last fall. So hauling the horses down to St George give me a chance to go see her and exercise the horses. Red Cliffs has a lot of sand, So it works well for winter horses that don't have their shoes. The Maze down to the Virgin River on the East side of I-15, You can ride all the way to Torquerville across Sand mountain. Brackens Loop and the Grapevine on west side of I-15 give several days of riding. Or Mountain Biking for those of you on two wheels.
