One of our favorite places to take kids for a quick hike is
just 15 minutes north of St. George at Red
Cliffs Recreation Area. The hike is more of a walk, but there are plenty of
rocks for the kids to scramble up, over and through. The stream that flows out
of the little canyon is perfect for kids to play in. We always take the trail
that follows the stream up the canyon to the larger pools of water. Our older
kids like to use the rope and chiseled foot notches to climb further up stream.
The kids often wear swimsuits or clothes to get wet so they can jump in the
water (more of a late spring thru mid-fall activity.)
We’ve always used Red Cliffs as a quick get away, but plenty
of people use it for camping, as well. There are camp sites with picnic tables;
however, the space is limited, and it can be tricky to find a spot in the
Spring and Fall. 
To get to Red Cliffs from St. George, take I-15 north to
exit 22. At te end of the freeway off-ramp, turn right on Old Highway 91 (frontage
road). Travel south 2 miles and turn right after passing the sign for the Red
Cliffs Recreation Area. Continue under two freeway tunnels and follow the paved
road for 1.3 miles to the campground.
The exit is the Leeds exit. We know several people who love
living in Leeds and the Silver Reef area. Give me a call if you are interested
in learning more about the homes in this area.
