Provides access to the scenic Candy Cliffs area

    • ~4-5 miles; longer if want (navigate through a bunch of trails to a distinct, worn trail)
    • Highlight was Yellow Top (follow Gaia trail, which curves to the left after arriving at the slick rock and goes down into a drainage; see greatamericanhikes description)
    • Can visit near sunset for good photos (but beware the drive back)
    • Access:
      • Accessible with a high clearance vehicle; road was decent when we went (don't go in rain; slow/bumpy; may have to ford small streams but we didn't; steep cliff edge to navigate without guard rails but it was fine if you are comfortable with this)
      • From St. George, take I-15 North to Leeds, Utah. Take Silver Reef Road (which becomes N Oak Grove Dr) to Danish Ranch Road. Google will take you to Yant Flats Trailhead / Anna’s Viewpoint Trail. No signs mark parking; you pass Yankee Doodle Canyon just before the trailhead
      • Tip: Call the Pine Valley Forest Ranger for info on road conditions before heading out - 435-783-4338
