Nestled in the Eilat Mountains, the Red Canyon is a stunning hiking spot in Israel, perfect for those looking to explore nature’s beauty without too much effort. Just a short 20-minute drive north of Eilat, this trail offers a serene escape into the heart of the canyons. The canyon gets its name from the magical moment when sunlight kisses the reddish rocks, casting a vibrant glow that seems almost otherworldly. The rocks aren't just red, though; they surprise you with patches of white and yellow that make every turn a visual delight.
For families and casual hikers, the green trail is ideal. It's well-marked, easy to follow, and offers a descent into the riverbed, leading to a playful trail towards the second creek. If you're up for a bit more adventure, the black trail presents a tougher challenge as it descends into the same creek. As you traverse this path, you'll encounter a large rock jutting from the riverbed. Climb it, and you'll find one of the most Instagram-worthy spots in the area. Continuing along the second creek, the canyon walls gradually close in, revealing the true beauty of the 'Red Canyon'. The entire trail is a pleasant 75-minute journey that leaves you with memories and photos to cherish.
While you're in the area, consider visiting the nearby Timna Park, known for its ancient copper mines and unique rock formations. It’s a wonderful complement to your Red Canyon adventure, offering a deeper dive into the region’s rich geological history.
