Dusk Ride to the Candy Cliffs: Electric Dirt Bikes into Yant Flats.
Ride wide, scenic roads through Dixie National Forest to Yant Flats—Southern Utah’s colorful sandstone waves known as the Candy Cliffs—and time the approach so the slickrock glows at sunset. The guided tour mixes extended riding with an optional short hike out onto the sandstone, giving mixed-skill groups the choice to cruise, explore, or try more challenging terrain while avoiding the midday heat.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Candy Cliffs (Yant Flats)
See the colorful, wave-like sandstone of Yant Flats—the local analogue to The Wave—where slickrock formations and broad vistas define the ride’s visual high point.
The Canyon Glow Show at Sunset
The itinerary times the approach so riders witness the cliffs’ dramatic color shift as evening light saturates the sandstone—a core reason to schedule the outing at dusk.
Beginner-friendly Electric Dirt Bikes with Optional Hike
The tour uses electric dirt bikes that are suitable for first-time riders and families, with optional sections and short hikes to explore the slickrock for those who want more technical terrain.

What the Trip Feels Like
You’ll start at the operator’s base, get fitted and briefed, then roll out along open forest roads toward the Candy Cliffs. The pace is deliberately unhurried—an extended ride that keeps you out longer to savor views and arrive at Yant Flats as the canyon walls catch the last light. Riders can dismount for a short walk across the slickrock or remain on the bikes and choose optional, more challenging lines.
