Coyote ʙuттes North

The Vermilion Cliffs are divided into a few main areas. Coyote ʙuттes North, which straddles Arizona and Utah, is beautiful but limits visitors to protect the ecosystem.

In addition to the breathtaking images of cliffs of all shapes and colors such as white, orange, pink… visitors here can see with their own eyes more than 1,000 dinosaur traces deeply imprinted in sediments, dating back 190 million years to the Jurᴀssic period.

Wave

This is one of the most beautiful and majestic sights here. Located just south of the Utah border, the Wave is also considered one of the symbols of the state.

Although the limit on the number of people allowed to visit makes Wave not one of the most popular tourist attractions, this destination really gives you the most impressive experiences and pH๏τos.

Melody Arch & Grotto

Like the Wave, this landmark is located in Coyote ʙuттes North. Melody Arch & Grotto is named after Melody Thomas, a pH๏τographer whose stunning pH๏τos brought the landmark to people around the world.

Alcove

Another icon in the same Coyote ʙuттes North area, Alcove is located not far from Melody Arch but a bit hidden.

If you take the time to walk and search, you will be able to admire an interesting landscape created by cliffs that have been naturally formed over millions of years. You can also discover traces of ancient fossilized flora at the foot of the sand dunes.

Coyote ʙuттes South

Coyote ʙuттes South also has a strange and extremely brilliant beauty with extremely impressive colors and shapes.

This is also one of the most well-preserved and extremely restricted tourist attractions. Only about 20 people are allowed to walk around this place each day. This area is very large, so you need to bring drinking water.

White Pocket

The group of sandstone domes known as the White Pocket is the most iconic landmark of the Paria Plateau, an area located southeast of North Coyote ʙuттes and The Wave.

White Pocket is notable for its bright white-gray rocks with many strange shapes. To get here, visitors do not need a permit to hike, but there are very few roads for you to walk and enjoy the scenery.

Paria Gorge

This famous canyon runs through the northern part of the Vermilion Cliffs, inside Coyote ʙuттes South. The main geological formations in the canyon are the Moenkopi Formation, Chinle Formation, Moenave Formation, Kayenta Formation and Carmel Formation, all of which are very surreal and magical. A permit is required for an overnight trip.

Buckskin Gulch

Located in southern Utah is Buckskin Gulch. It is the deepest canyon in the American Southwest and also the longest canyon in the world.

You need a permit to visit this area because although Buckskin Gulch is a beautiful and magical landscape, it is also potentially dangerous, especially when there are flash floods. So if it is about to rain, do not risk visiting this area.
