Red Cliffs Desert Reserve (St. George, Virgin: castle, bike, snake)

[WildWestDude]

Any of you know much about the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve just to the north of the city of St. George? I had a chance to see a small part of it.
I-15 cuts the reserve in half, I went to the eastern part and down the Virgin river. Pretty nice experience; the river was shallow and cool.

Here's a site I found but rather hear from people that have been there...

There are alot of trails there that you can bike and run on, I go there everyday but the area I am in is more on the western side up behind Castle Rock.
You see lots of wildlife, or at least i do, I see horny toads, lizards, rabbits, swallows, I have even see a bullsnake and one of the rare desert tortoises that the reserve is set up to protect I guess. My friend and I have also seen deer in there up on turtle road but that was around 2 in the morning..

Very neat place, check it out
