Checkerboard Teardrop

Issue 144 - Yant Flat and Candy Cliffs, St. George, Utah

Eight years ago I was exploring a desert landscape paved with pink hexagonal blocks decorated with orange stripes. This remote canyon near St. George, Utah has walls of red and white striped patterns and strange pillow-like formations. Cool, dry October days lured me back to Utah. If you are a fan of desert photography, add Yant Flat and the Candy Cliffs to your travel list. You'll definitely want to photograph these strangely-sculpted desert formations. This hike is mostly level and the trails are not crowded.
