Red Cliffs offers several marked hiking trails that will lead you
through beautiful red rock formations and narrow canyons filled with
pools of water. The Silver
Reef lookout trail is approx 0.5 miles long and leads to red
rock lookout, which overlooks the Sliver Reef Valley. Sliver Reef
is the only known place in the United States where commercial deposits
of silver ore are found in a sandstone formation. To the west of
the parking lot is a trail head that offers a beautiful hike through a
narrow canyon with towering red rock walls and will lead you to several
pools of water. These pools could offer a quick cool down for
those willing to brave the cold water. If you're planning on
hiking this trail be sure to watch the skies as I would suspect this is
not a place you would want to be in a severe rain storm.
Facilities:
There are 10 overnight camping sites, and a picnic area next to the
creek. Water, picnic tables, and vault toilets are available.
How to Get There: Take southbound
Exit 23 off I-15 to the town of Leeds. Drive south through the town until
you get to a sign that says Harrisburg and Red Cliffs Recreation Site.
Northbound travelers take Exit 22, turn right and follow the road south
approximately 2 miles to a sign that points to a road under the freeway
(limited access 11' x 11'), 1 mile to the campground.
