This seven to eight-hour tour takes you to one of the most unique and photogenic rock formations in the Kanab area, covering approximately one square mile of swirling, colorful terrain often referred to as “Brain Rock.” The vibrant red, orange, and yellow rocks create a surreal landscape that feels otherworldly, almost like stepping onto the surface of Mars. Recently, these formations gained widespread attention as one of the wallpaper options on Apple devices. Unlike other popular destinations such as the Wave, no permit is required, making this an accessible yet equally spectacular alternative. The route includes stretches of deep sand, but high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles and experienced guides ensure a safe and comfortable journey. Along the way, the tour often stops near the California Condors’ release site on the Vermillion Cliffs, where guests can observe these magnificent birds in their natural habitat.

The tour is designed to be flexible and convenient, with pickup available from local Kanab accommodations, or a meeting point at the Coral Cliffs Tours office. Guests coming from Page can also meet at the House Rock Valley Road and Highway 89 junction parking area. The roundtrip hike ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 miles depending on how much you choose to explore, with mostly flat terrain along sand and some uneven rock sections. There are a few opportunities to climb rocks and boulders for better views. Guests are advised to wear hiking shoes, bring layered clothing suitable for varying temperatures, sun protection, water for the hike, and lunch or snacks that travel well on bumpy roads. The combination of vibrant scenery, wildlife spotting, and guided off-road adventure makes this tour an unforgettable experience for photography enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.
