Hiking Southern Utah

Imagine clear blue skies, clean air, and plenty of desert sunshine. All of these are part of the experience of Southern Utah, some of the most colorful representations of classic geography for the southwest United States. There are so many beautiful places to see in St. George, and hiking is a fun outdoor activity for all ages, and difficulty level. So get outside and enjoy the majestic beauty that is Southern Utah!


Experience Diverse Eco-Systems in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve


At the merging of three great ecosystems, the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau, the Reserve is biologically rich with a unique array of animals and plants.  The conditions in the region are such that several endemic species, those which occur no where else in the world, do occur here.


And for many other trails, take a look at the link below for directions and more information on individual trails. 

The Fun of Longboarding

Longboarding is a fun activity that you can do all over St. George.  Where ever there is road you can spend your time on a longboard.  It works best going downhill, but anywhere there is road there's fun to be had.  Longboards are not too expensive and you can buy them at the mall or there are a few stores around St George that you can get them at.  It can be a little dangerous, but with a helmet and the proper safety gear you will be just fine.
