Red Cliffs Books

Red Cliffs Books draws its name and its character from the stunning red rock landscapes that surround St. George, serving as a literary gateway to some of the most spectacular national park and wilderness country in the American West. Since 2009, the Tabernacle Street store has been a cultural anchor in downtown St. George, offering visitors heading to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument the guides, maps, and desert reading that will deepen their experience. The desert ecology section is curated with genuine expertise, covering the fragile and fascinating ecosystems of the Mojave-Colorado Plateau transition zone. The Western history collection tells the stories of the pioneers, Paiute people, and modern communities that have shaped southern Utah. The literary fiction shelves offer escape for evenings after long days in the parks, and the children's section introduces young adventurers to the wonders of the desert Southwest. The in-store cafe serves cold drinks that are especially welcome in St. George's warm climate, and the store's central location makes it a natural stop before or after exploring the red cliffs that give it its name.
