My sis and I took a ride to this loc, and had spectacular views to take photos. We went by Balancing rock , just a road side area to stop n see!!!! the total ride thru this area is awesome colors, from the reds to whites etc.
This is a beautiful area - especially The Wave. It is easy to get lost however. Take lots of water. The Wave is truly unique and well worth a visit if you can get a permit.
Challenging hike with wonderful scenery. We also had a permit to South Coyote Buttes and saw wonderful scenery there, too.
The vermilion cliffs are beautiful and a must see. We explored the cliffs as part of the white pockets tour.
We drove along the cliffs but unfortunately did not make it up top as it is a significant haul from Lake Powell where we were staying. Still the stunning view from down below was worth the time investing as we drove north toward Page. Be aware that while posted on the north-south route of Hwy 89 the road closure is posted but not on the south-north route. A section of the road 18 miles south of Page is closed due to a landslide and may never reopen. Plan on taking Hwy 89A or 89T. We came up 89T and it provided some excellent views. If you plan on staying at Lake Powell for more than a day this monument would be well worth the drive.
Stayed at the Cliff Dwellers Lodge and this was our view from room. So, beautiful and peace full incredible sunset as we ate dinner at the restaurant which was so delicious!
The road to the start of the hiking trail is rough (8 miles dirt road) . The hike itself has the most stunning colors - especially if you go during midday, when the sun shines into the gorge and plays with the sandstone. We had to climb up and down some rocks and some parts are very narrow, but it was an excellent experience.
Driving highway 89A in Northern Arizona one cannot help but be amazed by the beauty of the Vermilion Cliffs. This is definitely a must-see when driving down this highway.
We drove around the monument on our way from The Grand Canyon to Zion National Park and it was absolutely beautiful! We didn't have time for hiking (only the occasional photo op) but I would love to go back and experience it a little more. We didn't even know it was there and we were very glad to have such amazing scenery on a long drive.
Kyle and Steve are great hosts and guides. Very flexible and accommodating. We had Steve as our guide to White Pocket (do Buckskin Gulch instead) and he was both knowledgeable and humorous - fun guy. If you want to tour Vermilion Cliffs in Arizona, these are the people to do it with whether you're staying in Kanab, Utah or Page, Arizona.This doesn't really qualify as an "attraction" - it's a tour guide service.
