Hike to the Yant Flat Candy Cliffs

Itinerary tips

• 1Ensure your vehicle has high clearance for the 7-mile drive up the unpaved, often washboarded Silver Reef Road.
• 2Download offline GPS maps before leaving St. George as the trail through the scrub brush is faint and poorly marked.
• 3Allocate at least 3 to 4 hours to explore the expansive sandstone waves once you reach the cliffs.
• 4Pack a minimum of two liters of water and salty snacks, as there is absolutely no shade or water source on the plateau.
• 5Wear shoes with high-traction rubber soles to safely navigate the steep, slickrock slopes that resemble frozen waves.
• 6Plan to arrive by mid-afternoon to capture the most vibrant orange and purple hues as the sun begins to dip.
