It covers many kinds of terrain, such as deserts, mountains, and much of the Great Basin. The stone formations and their preserved dinosaur tracks will be of interest to most visitors. These tracks date back to the Jurassic Period, more than 140 million years ago. Bryce Canyon National Park is only about 130 miles from the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area. It is the only national park within a four-hour drive of the area. Red Cliffs National Conservation Area has 11 official Bureau of Land Management campgrounds. Three of those have pull-through sites. The Bureau of Land Management rules regarding lengths of stay in any one location limit you to 15 days out of 30 days. In all cases, do not leave your campsite or possessions unattended for more than 72 hours. If you do, you risk your belongings being confiscated and thrown away.

Planning your Red Cliffs National Conservation Area BLM trip
As the name implies, this is a desert area. It will be hot during the day and cold at night, so you should bring clothing for both temperatures. You must also have enough water for any hiking trips you plan to take. A good rule is to bring a gallon of water per person every three hours of hiking in the desert. If you're going to be backpacking, getting two gallons per person is better. Always bring more than you think you're going to need. Because of the sun's intensity for most of your daytime hikes, bring sunblock, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. If you plan to hike in areas with snakes, be aware of procedures should a venomous snake bites you. Also, bring a first-aid kit and salt tablets. If you're going to be out of coverage for your cell phone, then it's prudent also to bring along an emergency notification device. Educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be life-threatening. When heading out, notify someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone.
