For many visitors, Red Canyon is nothing more than a scenic drive on the way eastward to Bryce Canyon and more of Highway 12’s natural treasures. For those that dig a little deeper though, the area offers rich and beautiful experiences that are just as good as any other features found throughout southern Utah. The Cassidy Trail is a fantastic way to explore more of the bright orange Claron Formation and its eroded hoodoos, along with several other trails found along the highway before ascending higher onto the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
