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.
