Hike Yant Flat (Candy Cliffs), St George, Utah

Add to My List Check Off

Yant Flat trail takes you across a quick mile of lower forest at the base of Pine Valley Mountain. The cross-bedded structures on the cliffs are best viewed when the sun is at a low angle. The trail goes south for about 1.3 miles. The first half mile follows a gentle downward slope on smooth gravel. Then there is another half mile of undulating trail with rocks of various sizes that must be stepped over or around. The final segment is sandy and uphill. The last 100 yards is the sandiest and steepest. But it isn’t hard. You can do the whole thing in 30 or 40 minutes. Yant Flat can be divided into two segments: eastern and western. The trail ends at the top of a steep section on the western side. It isn’t obvious how to get to the bottom, but a few ways can be found that let one walk down, albeit very steeply.
