Description
After parking at the Yant Flat Parking and Trailhead, start hiking the sandy trail south for 1.0 mile through Juniper trees and Pinion pines. Upon reaching the slickrock fields, you'll see swirling red and white sandstone strata laced through miles of exposed rock. At this point, follow the cairns counter clockwise around the slickrock fields. This trail hits multiple viewpoints and explores a large area. The cairns occasionally disappear, but if you look out into the distance you can generally pick up again where you left off. Be aware of cliffs and exposed sections.After completing the slickrock circle you'll arrive back at the sandy trail. Follow it north to return to the parking area.
