Step outside your front door at Sand Hollow Resort and you’re face-to-face with the Sand Mountain Dunes. Ride across naturally groomed sand and crawl over Slickrock to gaze across the horizon from the highest point of the dunes. If you’re not comfortable questing alone, tours are available.

Yant Flats (Candy Cliffs)

Nicknamed the “Candy Cliffs,” the Yant Flats look like the desert colors were spilled across the landscape by Willy Wonka himself. This spot is truly a hidden gem, located less than 30 minutes from the resort in a small town called Leeds. Nestled in the foothills of Pine Valley Mountain, a short one-mile hike will take you to the flats. From there, you can explore the swirled sandstone landscape like a kid in a candy store!

Snow Canyon State Park has it all at your fingertips— majestic views, hiking, rock climbing, and caving! The subtle interplay of light and shadow in the desert canyons make it a photographer’s paradise whether you’re equipped with your DSLR camera or a smartphone.
Book a local excursion to Snow Canyon State Park by calling 844-404-3260 today.
The Wave

Located on the Utah-Arizona border, “The Wave” attracts sight-seekers from all walks of life to the Coyote Buttes. Sculpted by wind erosion, The Wave transports visitors to a mystical land where solid rock billows and dances around them.
In order to surf these sandstone waves, however, you’ll need to obtain a day permit in advance. This $7 per person permit system helps the Bureau of Land Management maintain the grounds and keeps crowds to a minimum.
Kolob Canyon

Venture out to the gorge that runs through Zion National Park or drive up the canyon and discover a woody haven and serene reservoir by the same name: Kolob.
Located in Zion National Park, the lower Kolob Canyon is characterized by its sheer cliffs and breathtaking views. But if the hustle and bustle of Zion isn’t for you, head to higher ground for equally beautiful sights much less frequented.
Sand Hollow Resort
Last but not least, make sure to check out our personal favorite view: the view from any of our Sand Hollow Resort balconies! The resort overlooks our stunning golf courses and a skyline extending from Pine Mountain to Zion National Park.
