Petrified Forest Trail
Petrified Forest TrailRed Canyon
Several lovely hiking trails. Part of Dixie National Forrest.
20 minutes from Tropic, last bit of road is unpaved but well maintained. Beautiful slot canyon--just a bit wider than most slot canyons, meaning a horse and rider can pass through it, so it's more accessible than typical slot canyons. Shallow creek passes through the Willis Creek Narrows. Petroglyph panels at the end of the hike (2.2 mi.)
