If you are up to remote, difficult to reach and unique places, then South Coyote Buttes are the must. It was unforgettable experience. Breathtaking views. We have not met even a single person other than our group during all our visit there... I highly recommend to invest in tour guide for two reasons: 1. The guide would definitely show you much more than you can find on your own; 2. The part of the road to reach both trailheads (especially Cottonwood cove) requires special vehicle and driving experience. Shon (Dreamland safari tours) was not only knowledgeable about the geology, history and nature of the place but also was a full of funny stories. I enjoyed every minute of this 9 hour tour.

I followed another reviewers directions and found this easily. Road was dirt/gravel, but easy to drive, just slow and bumpy. About a 20-30 min detour off the highway from Page to Kanab. Follow directions to old Paria site. I think it might be better in the afternoon to see the really colorful mountainside

Home to Vermillion Cliffs Buckskin Gulch the Wave, South Coyote Buttes and several camping areas it is a great place to explore. watch the weather as it can be tough to drive if wet or rough after rain. You can drive a car carefully on it most times.

Quick review: honestly one of the coolest hikes I’ve ever done. It took us over an hour to find the trail but once you do it is so easy to get to the arch. It was a pretty easy hike, little elevation gain and ended up being about 4.5 miles. We started at 3:30 and got back to our car just as the sunset at 5:30 (in January). You walk in the middle of the cliff so the views are insane the entire time but I never felt unsafe with the extreme drop offs on both sides. Some nice person made rock arrows pointing to the arch at the end because other reviews are right, you have to walk around a bit to realize you are standing on it. Definitely worth the adventure! Details below. I have pictures of our route (don’t use the directions of another poster about the road across from lone rock and the wooden corral, you will end up walking waaaay farther). Coming from Page, we turned left off highway 89 onto a single lane dirt road just after the Wahweap area on the right side of the highway. None of these roads are marked so I did my best to trace our route on the pictures attached to this review. Follow the maps I posted for the best place to leave your car. We took a lot of different routes around here and this is the safest if you don’t have a 4-wheel drive off-roading vehicle (which we definitely didn’t, had to drive backwards a few times on different roads to safely get out, no way to turn around) Either the sand gets too deep or the rocks become too hazardous if you try to go further. There is no parking lot, we just left the car on a little pull out and started walking toward the trailhead. Speaking of, there is no “trailhead” like google maps has. I marked TRAIL on the maps to show where we walked. You can take an off-roading vehicle farther up until a certain part where there is a sign for no more vehicles. The path is easy to follow from there. We didn’t see another person the entire time we spent looking for the trail and walking it. (In the distance, someone was off-roading but we never got close) It was awesome! I’ve never experienced anything like this, especially when there is such an awesome ending to this route. I can’t recommend this enough. We had a great time and it was the highlight of our trip to Arizona (we also did antelope canyon, horseshoe bend, Grand Canyon, and Sedona

Such an interesting place, once a bar and dance hall to now housing geological specimens that I wish I could have one of each! Such a great gift shop with rocks and gemstones presented in a neat fashion including showing them off under black lights. There is even dinosaur poop on display! Don't miss the old bar in the back and notice the fascinating cave that shows the multiple layers of rock in the area. I could spend hours at Moqui Cave.
