Description
Despite its name,
Snow Canyon State Park rarely sees the
snow, for which Utah is so famous (The
park was named for Mormon Prophet Lorenzo
Snow). White and red Navajo sandstone,
black lava rock, and sand dunes create
an incredible landscape for photography,
hiking, horseback riding, and camping.
Southern Utah's moderate climate makes
Snow Canyon a prime destination during
early spring, fall, and even winter. The
colorful canyon is popular with hikers
and rock climbers willing to try their
skills on the towering sandstone walls.
This strikingly colorful
Snow Canyon State Park is 11 miles northwest
of St. George. Facilities include a 35-unit
campground, modern rest rooms, hot showers,
electric hookups, sewage disposal station,
a covered group-use pavilion and overflow
campground.
