Red Hills Desert Garden

Welcoming thousands of visitors since its opening in 2015, the Red Hills Desert Garden is the first desert conservation garden of its kind. The nearly 5-acre garden features 5,000 water-efficient plants, a 1,150-foot stream stocked with native and endangered fish species, a replica slot canyon and prehistoric dinosaur tracks found onsite dating back 200 million years.

For Your Viewing Pleasure

The Virgin River is home to some of the rarest fish species on Earth and you just might be lucky enough to see them in the Red Hills Desert Garden’s 1,150-foot meandering stream. With a fish viewing area located in the replica slot canyon, kids and adults alike will ooh and aah when they see these rare floundering friends. Another fun activity that’s sure to delight is following the dinosaur tracks located throughout the garden. Home to several boulders found locally that contain real dinosaur tracks that are over 200 million years old, this is a scavenger hunt in which visitors of all ages will revel. Did you even know there was a place that you can follow real dinosaur tracks?

Excellent home base for an active vacation. Location was perfect for all of the outdoor activities, and the condo was comfortable enough for hanging out there for downtime!

We came down as a family to enjoy Moab. The house was incredibly clean and comfortable. We love the location being slightly off main street but within a close distance to Arches National Park. Everything about the process was communicated accurately and well. We would highly recommend.
