Yes any and all trails but need to be on a leash...

Is there a private area? Less foot traffic?

All of the public acessable areas are I open to all. If you go on a mile plus hike there are less people.

There are many excellent trails in the Conservation Area. Good maps are available at the local NCA headquarters.

Can you reserve camping in advance?

Rebecca Bauen | Nov 1, 2021
Trent Wynn | Nov 1, 2021

No. The sites are first come first serve at Red Cliff. I got there Thursday afternoon-ish and got a spot thru Monday. Campers do come and go, though. Weekend nights, all the sites were full.

Going to St George via Las Vegas, what sights are near St George that I need to see?

Brian Krawiecki | Nov 1, 2020

Red cliffs conservation area and Snow Canyon state park

What is the crime rate in this area? I read that the St George area is 85% less safe than the rest of the USA.

Julie Wiley | Nov 2, 2019
Lisa Jackman | Nov 2, 2019

I don't know where you read that... St George is one of the safest places ever!! It's 60% LDS and the majority of people who visit (tourism is huge here) are either families from up North (where it's 95% LDS in many areas) or health nuts here to bike the red Rock or run marathons. I'm not LDS myself, but when it comes to being very superficially kind and helpful to strangers and not stealing or hurting other people, they're pretty dang solid. I've lived in Utah for 26 years, St George for 3 and it's seriously one of the safest places ever. Maybe the crime rate was speaking to opioid abuse? We rank top in the nation in that, sadly.

Monica Shen | Nov 2, 2019

There's at least 2 camping sites I believe, 1 of them is at the Red Reef trailhead. I think the other one is over by Snow Canyon which is on the other side of the park

Hi! Is it allowed to fly with a drone for filming nature? Thanks

Ivan Efimov | Nov 2, 2019
Todd Tischler | Nov 2, 2019

Sure, I don't think anyone would have a problem with that. There is only a camp host no state or federal cops at that location. Also no aircraft around . If you are really worried ask and I'll get I a official (fed park ranger) answer...

Ni Kusia | Nov 2, 2018

Dogs must be leashed but yes.

Is there a visitors center? Are paper trail maps available somewhere? Thanks!

Jennifer Eyler | Nov 2, 2018
Jason Hoger | Nov 2, 2018

If you have a NPS annual pass that will cover admission. I would suggest downloading the PDF of the trails. You can also stop by the visitors center located in downtown St. George.
