Explore the Red Reef Trail Waterfalls

Itinerary tips

• 1Arrive before 9:00 AM to secure a spot in the small, high-demand parking lot at the Red Cliffs Campground.
• 2Wear sturdy water shoes or sandals with straps to navigate the slick sandstone and shallow creek crossings comfortably.
• 3Allocate at least two hours for the round-trip hike to allow time for swimming and playing at the natural water slide.
• 4Pack a small towel and dry bag for electronics since you will likely get wet during the rope-assisted climb.
• 5Pay the $5 day-use fee at the self-service station near the trailhead using exact cash or a credit card.
• 6Continue hiking past the first pool to discover quieter alcoves and unique desert potholes further up the canyon.
