Yant Flats Trails

Though only a few miles from civilization as a bird flies, this trailhead is only accessible via a dirt road (that can be quite bumpy - high clearance vehicles recommended though I did it in a car).  Given the condition of the road, drive time can be 45 minutes from St George, Utah.  The road is accessed via Silver Reef by Leeds, UT and directions are easy to find online.  This is an easier hik...

Take Main Stre...
