OUTDOOR ADVENTURE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Resting on hundreds of raw, untamed acres—including cavernous lava tunnels, towering sandstone cliffs, and indigenous desert botanicals as far as the eye can see, Black Desert Resort’s greatest amenity is what this extraordinary land has to offer. 

Where miles of hiking and mountain biking trails forge through ancient black lava fields, rugged backcountry excursions are led by friendly Trail Guides and our private footpath affords unmatched direct access to Snow Canyon. Black Desert Resort teems with a diversity that promises you will never see it all (though you’ll try). And outside of Snow Canyon State Park, the greater Red Cliffs National Conservation Area boasts more adventure and beauty to be found!
