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.
