Vermilion Cliffs National Monument isn't the whole red cliff area. It runs from Northwest Arizona through South Utah. The drive from Cameron AZ (North of the Grand Canyon South Rim) to Kanab and St George is incredible. Red cliffs for over 100 miles and that's just from the highway. Along the route we took US 89 and US 89a: Glen Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs, Navajo Bridge (crosses the Colorado).

Anasazi Indian Village State Park

Park has a self-guided trail through a village that was inhabited a thousand years ago.

Reviewed By Casey1919 - Somerset, United States

Near the end of travel on scenic byway Rt. 12, you will come upon this small but very good state park. A small entrance fee gives you access to a museum and actual ruins of these ancient people. A recreation of their living quarters, history of these people and how ancient their culture was and viewing an actual archeological dig made for a very pleasant 1-2 hrs. A must see if you are on Ut. 12
