Our newest kayaking destination is quickly becoming a guest favorite. With its blue-green waters and orange sandstone, Sand Hollow is an amazing backdrop for kayaking, hiking, and photography. The lake is surrounded by salmon pink sand dunes, and red rocks. Paddle your kayak around the small coves and enjoy a healthy lunch while digging your bare toes into the coral colored sand. Once you have thoroughly explored Sand Hollow take a short, scenic drive to Snow Canyon. Tucked quietly away in sandstone cliffs and giant black lava flows, the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve awaits. Originally established to protect the endangered desert tortoise and its habitat, the area offers fabulous hiking opportunities. Pitch your tent and enjoy a fresh meal around the campfire.
