Must-See Local Gems

Coral Pink Sand Dunes
State Park

Just 25 minutes away ($15 per vehicle entry), these massive shifting dunes are a must-see. Rent a sandboard ($25), hit the ATV trails, or just hike the ridges for an incredible sunset view.

Belly of The Dragon

A massive man-made drainage tunnel that looks like a literal dragon’s ribcage. Only 15 minutes away, it is a quick, easy, and shaded walk for all ages, with a continuous trail at the end of it.

Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon

A local favorite 20 minutes away that rivals Zion’s slots without the massive crowds. This stunning canyon features deep orange sandstone walls and ancient Moqui steps. Getting here requires a 4×4 high-clearance vehicle for the deep sand, or you can book a local UTV tour for the full experience.
