Reviews
The Vermillion Cliffs are in both AZ and UT. Parts of it are along U.S. Highway 89 and U.S. Highway 89A. The address is correct now!
The drive down Highway 89A through the Vermilion Cliffs is absolutely breathtaking. It's incredible to see the huge cliffs on your left and realize that you're in the bottom of a ginormous basin that stretches all the way to the cliffs on your right. The magnitude of this area just blows your mind.
We made the mistake of not researching this more and thinking there was something there. We came from Page to the sign in the middle of nowhere. If you're passing through on your way west from Page, or East from Fredonia or North Rim, fine, its a great scenic drive. If you're boon docking and have an off road vehicle, fine you can do more. But, don't make the mistake we did and drive out thinking yo're going to find a destination off the hwy.
