ποΈ Sand Caves are located about half way between Zion NP and Kanab on route 89.
This is one of those great on-the-side of the toad attractions that is super fun to explore.
The hiking trail to the bottom of the caves from the parking lot is very short, about .6 miles. The climb to the caves is about 168 feet of elevation gain. However, there are a couple of steep sections that are covered in sand so hiking π₯Ύ with good traction are strongly recommended.
We really enjoyed climbing around and also talking to a few people at the top. Strongly recommend making a stop here if you have time to explore and if you feel good physically that day.
The parking lot is pretty big and could accommodate a couple of good size RVs.
