When you desperately need some peace and quiet, the best place to go is on a hike. Not only will you receive a little exercise, but immersing yourself in nature can boost your mood and help you feel refreshed and rejuvenized. The Red Hollow Trail, located near Cedar City, is one of these quiet, peaceful hiking trails in Utah that will also take you on quite an adventure. You’ll travel through red rocks to incredible views that you’ll never want to leave.
The Red Hollow Trail is a 3.3-mile, out-and-back hiking trail near Cedar City. You will find the trailhead off of Center Street near Rusty’s Ranch House. If you’ve reached this tasty restaurant, you’ve gone too far.
This is one hiking trail in Utah where we highly recommend hiking shoes. You’ll come across loose dirt, particularly in steeper areas, that can be quite a challenge to climb.
While it is important to watch your step, make sure you don’t spend all of your time looking down. Along this trail, you’ll come across some pretty spectacular views.
However, the best thing about the Red Hollow Trail is you will feel all alone and tucked away from the world. This is one of the quietest hiking trails in southern Utah and it is rarely crowded.
Have you explored the Red Hollow Trail in Utah before? What was your adventure like? Was it peaceful and quiet? We’d love to hear all about your experience in the comments. And, if you’ve never gone on this hiking trail in Utah before, it is recommended that you bring a map along with you. Parts of this trail can become washed out, making the journey quite confusing.
During your visit to Cedar City, book a stay at the Big Yellow Inn. This charming bed and breakfast is located in the heart of the city and is the perfect getaway location.
