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

THE LANDSCAPE

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 LIGHT

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.

THE RIDE

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 day feels like

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.
