As if the desert colors were spilled across the landscape by Willy Wonka himself, it’s no wonder the Yant Flats have been nicknamed the “Candy Cliffs.” This spot is truly a hidden gem, located less than 30 minutes from the resort in a small town area called Leeds. Nestled in the foothills of Pine Valley Mountain, a short mile hike will take you to the flats. From there, you can enjoy exploring the swirled sandstone landscape like a kid in a candy store!

Book a local excursion to Snow Canyon State Park by calling 844-404-3260 today.

The Wave

Located on the Utah-Arizona border, “The Wave” attracts sight-seekers from all walks of life to the Coyote Buttes. Sculpted by wind erosion, The Wave transports visitors to a mystical land where solid rock billows and dances around them.

In order to surf these sandstone waves, however, you’ll need to obtain a day permit in advance. This $7 per person permit system helps the Bureau of Land Management maintain the grounds and keeps crowds to a minimum.

Kolob Canyon

Adventure in the gorge that runs through Zion National Park or drive up the canyon and discover a woody haven and serene reservoir by the same name: Kolob.

Located in Zion National Park, the lower Kolob Canyon is characterized by its sheer cliffs and breathtaking views. But if the hustle and bustle of Zion isn’t for you, head to higher ground for equally beautiful sights, much less frequented by crowds.
