Although I grew up in Utah, “state park” was a bit of a mystery to me. We camped in local National Forest campgrounds and visited the popular National Parks, but my only experience in memory with official State Parks were trips to Goblin Valley every few years. As we first started traveling, I was a…
Nestled close to St. George, Utah Snow Canyon State Park was a beautiful surprise for us! I had heard good things about it for years, but we had just never managed to make it down there. I’m so glad we fit it in this time! Beautiful red cliffs mixed with green Evergreen and Joshua trees…

Pretty!
[…] loved this park so much, I wrote a whole post on it. Playing in the sand dunes, hiking, and exploring. Plus its only 15-20 minutes away from a […]
[…] We were here back in 2014 (although we had warmer weather!) and have always wanted to return. We convinced my parents to drive down from Salt Lake City the day after Christmas, and Snow Canyon SP was conveniently close to their rented condo. Perfect.
