On our drive to St. George where we are camping for two weeks, we passed Snow Canyon State Park and made a note to get out there to check it out. There are a multitude of paved bike paths...
Alcove Hike
Southern Utah is famous for red rock canyons and towering cliffs. Descriptive words will never do this area justice. The massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red soar into a brilliant blue sky. Long before today’s landscape even appeared, streams,...
Giant Sequoia Ride
AllTrails showed a hike, ride, or drive out to a Giant Sequoia tree near where we are camping in Southern Utah so we routed a ride to see it. The rough dirt forest service road leaves from the interstate...

Sacramento Pass and Mine Shaft Hike
There is a fun little trail around the rocks and hills of Sacramento Pass. We hiked this loop on our last day in the area and it has some really interesting features. You can mountain bike it too, but...
