Babylon Arch Trailhead

A sandy, red-hued trail is surrounded by tall sandstone formations. One of the most eyecatching is a sandstone arch, forming a small portal in the sparse terrain. From St George, head north on I-15 for about 13 miles and take exit 22 to Leeds/Silver Reef. Head north on Hwy 228/Main Street for 2 miles and take a right onto 900 North (there is a sign indicating Red Cliffs National Conservation Area). Follow 900 North for about 3 miles and turn left after the sign indicating Sand Cove Trailhead. You can take the trail from two start points – Sand Cove Trailhead or the Primitive Camping Area Trailhead. 4WD and high clearance are REQUIRED to get to the Primitive Camping Area.
