Located along Highway 395, the Red Cliffs Natural Preserve with its impressive Red Rock Columns is worth a stopp. You can admire the rock formations that were carved by erosion and take a short hike deeper into the fascinating landscape. There is a pit toilet at the trailhead.

Located right on the road, great scenery and the short hike is worth it because you can collect even more impressions.
