The Red Canyon in the Eilat Mountains is one of Israel’s most beautiful yet accessible hiking trails. Entrance to the park is completely free. Twenty minutes north of Eilat, this stunning geological wonder offers an undisturbed hike through the natural canyons.

The Red Canyon gets its name from the phenomenon which occurs when sunlight hits the reddish rock that lines the canyon. It then glows with an intense reddish color. The rock is varied in color and in patches is shades of white and yellow. The colors come from the sandstone that’s been carved by wind and water through the ages.
