We set off from our RV campsite at Sand Hollow State Park near Hurricane, Utah to find a spot called Yant Flats aka Candy Cliffs located up in the Red Cliffs Wilderness area north of St. George.
By the photographs found online, it looked like an amazing spot to check out. Very much off the beaten path.
In the video, I show you a bit of dashcam footage of the drive in on a very narrow dirt road, loaded with twists and turns and ups and downs.
Once there we hike in the 1.5 miles across a small high elevation pine tree and scrub forest then scramble down into the colored sandstone cliffs of Yant Flat.
Most of the video contains highlights of the Yant Flats formations, views out to the surrounding countryside and a final slideshow of photos I took while there.

Cool views you know how to find them great video
Beautiful!
Thanks Ray for your trip reports and videos & Ann's pictures. I look forward to seeing your videos. My wife and I recently retired back in June. Purchased a used MH. Will be heading west, then north in mid April. Kinda of fulltiming. Will be based out of Texas for DR. appointments.
You have been to more beautiful places here in the U.S. Than most U.S. residents. Sure would be great to meet up someday.
Cheers !
Darrell
Hi Darrel, You're welcome. Glad you're getting the chance to hit the road. If you get close to us, give me a shout. We are planning to head up the Oregon coast 101 highway in April. Cheers Ray
I did a quick GOOGLE as usual to check elevation and at 4600 ft it's off limits for me but it is *beautiful!* BTW, the listings have it as Yant Flat or Candy Cliffs. Thanks for the view!!
Ya, pretty high for a sea level raised west coast boy like me, too. I was feeling it climbing those cliffs, luckily I've been up fairly high for a while now. Cheers!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for continuing to produce quality content. I first came across your videos over a year ago. How is Angie?
Thanks Patrick. She is 13 now but doing well. :)
WOW what a narrow road. Makes you hope yoy never meet anyone going the other way.
I've been doing some research on a trip I am planning and discovered Yant Flat. I went on UA-cam to watch some videos on it and wa-la! Here's your video on it. Cool!
Have fun! Its a cool hike.
Enjoyed seeing you, the beagle and the wife! Video/stills were fabulous! :-) Thanks.
Thanks Julie, Cheers Ray
ray, you find the most interesting areas...quiet, beautiful and serene...fantastic !!!
We live in a wonderful age with the Internet, so much info at our fingertips. Years ago very few would even know such a place existed. It sure is fun to seek out some of these lesser known gems.
Looks like my 4 wheel drive Toyota with small camper is just the ticket for this road. What a gorgeous spot. I have been near here in 2008 but was ignorant of it's existence. Next time!
enjoy my brother. good luck Mr 😆 👍 💑 🐶 ✌ حض أوفر لك سيدي الطيب في حياتك 😍
I love the detail. You have given us the bug to try boondocking.
Cool!
Going to put it on my list. Looks like a great place for photos!!
Definitely, the light was a little harsh when we were there but if you search the name in google images you'll find some beauties.
At first I thought you were taking the RV on that road! That would have been scary!
Looked pretty dicey as it was. As always, wonderful photography and beautiful landscapes!
I love how I live in Las Vegas but get the best tips on places to see from a guy from Canada.
Thanks Ray.
I'll be checking this out before the heat sets in.
:)
When I am able to do the RV thing this is on my list to visit. Do you live full time in the fifth wheel or do you still own a sticks and bricks? Thank you for taking the time to show your travels.
We sold our S&B house 5 years ago with plans to move to a new city adn get another one but since the house was sold and we had no ties we decide to take a sabbatical and travel in an RV for a full year. A life long dream of mine.
Well, we are still traveling, haha. We do head back to the same area, Vancouver Island and stay in an RV Park there most of the summer, but come winter we split and head south for warmer temps and adventures. Thanks for watching, Cheers Ray
Thank you for the fast reply! I have a fifth wheel and a ford truck and love being in It and love the idea of one day living in it and seeing all the sites this country has to offer. I would love to quit my job and sell my house and start but I do have of few bills that I want cleared up first. I like your videos and there are others that I watch to keep the dream alive. I am a huge Ford fan and my son and I are big fans of your truck. Sorry to ramble on but I just wanted you too know that I am a huge fan of your channel.
Thanks, it's a beauty, still chugging along after all these years, amazing. We love Big Blue, haha. Taken us on many great adventures and never has broken down to the pint of leaving us stranded.
This summer I plan to give him a treat of an all new exhaust system, last year he got a new fuel injector pump and radiator.
Being debt free is a big thing. You're smart to get the bills off the table first. it will give you such freedom. With the RV lifestyle, you can live quite frugal if need be.
THOSE ROCK FORMATIONS ARE REALLY SOMETHING. THE WEATHER LOOKED PERFECT. OOPS SORRY ALL CAPS.
No problem, those formations deserve ALL CAPS. :) It was just about perfect temperature wise, mid 70's and sunny.
Cheers Ray
Wow what a ruff but beautiful place to go to.Ray keep up the good work.
thanks ray very nice ive lived in utah my hole life didnt no it was there
This is my playground and I didn't even know about it, it looks like it's near Red Cliffs... Leave it to a "tourist" to find places you weren't even aware of lol... Thank you! 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
haha, I'm from a very popular tourist area myself, Victoria and Vancouver Island, BC so know the feeling.
Cheers Ray
Love Your RV if you are still there, be sure to hit Kolob Terrace road for a gorgeous western backside view of Zion 🌞
Oh yes, absolutely beautiful scenic drive up there, we checked it out in our 2014 visit to Zion - www.loveyourrv.com/photo-gallery/nggallery/blog/spring-2014-visit-to-zion-np/
We are now headed towards Death Valley region, hoping to catch the tail end of the super bloom.
Love Your RV it's 70 in LV at 9:30 pm, I wouldn't wait too long 🌞 I'm sure you know that though...
Maybe to late for the lower elevations, hoping for still some in the higher areas, also looking forward to checking out the Amargosa Canyon area - www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/barstow/amargosa.html adn the Tecopa Hot Springs.
Ever been?
A masing wow I am lost for words. Thank you for shering. I wash in Iceland 40 years. and that is fantastic. But this is so much 💝🎀💝 Gretings to you bouth 💞💐💞. Love from Dk 💞⛅💞
Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Dude, you totally missed your wife... I think you need to check your glasses.
Unfortunately, I don't have 30X zoom like the camcorder. :)
WOW, thanks Ray
Ray....greetings. Can you tell me please where is the "little oasis" location you were at when the video started? In Leeds?
It's called Palm Creek Resort and Picnic Grounds located in Moapa, Nevada - www.loveyourrv.com/returned-palm-creek-resort-rv-park-nevada/
As always... Awesome photography !
Nice seeing Anne in some of your videos Ray. Hope you both enjoy the rest of your travels that allow us, the viewers, to enjoy them as well. Thanks a lot, it's much appreciated.
You're welcome Rich. :)
Wow! It was great to hear from you. I feel as if I know you and your wife from all of your videos. We are traveling more now that my husband retired. Would like to head out west with our RV. We live in Hollywood, Fl (between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale), and a trip out west would be a worthwhile and loooooong journey for us. Travel safe!
Hi Sammie, thanks for watching. I definitely encourage you to head west, the amount of open and public land out here is amazing compared to the east and with the mountainous topography, the scenery is awesome. It's perfect for RVing, lots of elbow room. :)
Cheers Ray
You probably already know, but if not Snow canyon is another really cool little camp ground. It has big sand stone rock bordering it so you can walk right from you trailer up onto them. It's limited as far as camp sites, but well worth it if you can get in.
Yes, we day tripped over there, gorgeous park! but with spring break on it was a zoo. ;) Hopefully, We can return sometime when there are less people around.
That place she is walking looks like dragon scales. You could just imagine that whole place start to move. Sorry, that's how my mind works. Lived in Utah all my life and there are places that are hard to explain but oh so beautiful and loaded with mystery. Hardly ever touched by humans.
It's amazing the patterns nature can come up with.
Thank you for taking the time. It was worth it.
What a video Ray!!! Excellent!
I sure love that terrain there and the natural beauty of the foliage, you sure can pick the nicest areas Ray..nice video!
+Tioga Trails Thanks. That's our goal, find beautiful places to explore. It's been a great trip this year. :)
Another amazing video and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing! :-)
No probs, thanks for watching. Cheers Ray
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Safe travels!😊 How do you find all of these wonderful p,aces to explore?
You're welcome. All sorts of ways, sometimes it's word of mouth. but usually, I just research the area on the internet, searching out hiking, photography and camping spots. Cheers Ray
We could google it, but the purposes of info where did you get the Garmin cam? To much to ask for the price lol?! We really like it! - Steve
Got it as a Christmas gift, here is a review post I did on it - www.loveyourrv.com/my-new-rving-gadget-the-garmin-dash-cam-20/
Thanks!
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaarow road!
Ray, are you in the states just vacationing or do you guys plan on staying with us for a long time?
We come down and spend the winters traveling the southwest in our RV, on our way back north soon, will be back home on Vancouver Island, BC at the end of April. :)
That looks like a one way road!
Pretty! A lot of exercise for sure. Your photography is awesome!
Thanks. Great way to get in shape. Beats a gym. :) Cheers Ray
Wow. Beautiful.
The Road is really need 4 X 4?
My car is regular 4 doors sedan.
We went in a 2WD dually truck and no problem.
amazing life you have seen all those wonderfull places in person
That's for sure, I count myself as very lucky. I know these memories made now will be very prized by me someday.
Had never heard of the place before! Beautiful! Thanks!
Yes, it's not super well known and tends to get lost in all the other beautiful easier to access spots int south-west Utah.
Another great hike guys! Thanks for taking us along.
You bet. :)
Another amazing video thank you Ray.
Thanks!
Love the southwest hope to get there one day. good job keep it up.
Hope you do, it's something to see.
You film pretty cool stuff!
Thanks, love cool natural landscapes.
Ray, thank you so much for showing us some of the beautiful and unusual landscapes that make this country a great place to live and travel in. We share your love of the American west and spend as much time as we can out "there". Safe travels (and hikes).
You're welcome, I'm so happy for the privilege to come down here and explore your amazing country, we have nothing like to these desert red rock landscapes up in Canada, Cheers!
