Reed Reef Trail

Red Reef Trail is a highly trafficked, popular hike that leads to pools of water after meandering through vermillion canyons. The sandy hike encapsulates Southern Utah beauty and showcases rock formations, desert plants, and a water oasis at the end. Be prepared to scale rocks with the assistance of a rope if you choose to ascend and climb past the little waterfall!
