Quail Creek Trail in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve

This hike is a bit unusual for the southwest desert, much of it is hiking through a shaded riparian area of cottonwoods and willows alongside Quail Creek. It also features magnificent views of the red sandstone mountains and cliffs to the north and west.
