Snow Canyon is a great little State park conveniently located just outside of St. George, Utah. The views of the valley and red cliffs as you drive into the park are spectacular. We have stayed here a few times as a starting point for other adventures. They have a number of developed trails in the park that twist around the petrified sand dunes and red rock lava flows. There are about 38 miles of trails in all - plenty to keep you busy for the weekend. The main road through the park is also a great bike ride with more elevation gain than might be expected.
