Beautiful hiking and scenery. Where the infamous "wave" hike and antelope canyon are located. Permits required.
This geologic wonderland is three times the size of Las Vegas, and 3 million times as wild. There are no visitor centers, no developed campsites. Just 3,000-foot cliffs, sandy slot canyons, pulled-taffy rock formations and miles of unmarked paths. This is where you go if you prefer unspoiled wilderness to well-trafficked trails, and starry silence to crowded campgrounds. The solitude is a factor of Vermilion Cliffs’ remoteness and rugged terrain, yes, but also a lottery-based permitting system that helps preserve the national monument’s wild beauty for generations to come.

Vermillion Cliffs has some stellar hiking and beautiful landscape but is a bit of a drive. Some of the areas DO require permits so depending on what you want to do you may need to plan in advance. Still, if you're planning on exploring the North Rim of the canyon at all, you'll be driving through this area and we recommend you soak it up!
