10 Nature & Parks in St. George That You Shouldn't Miss
St. George is central to some of the most dramatic natural beauty in the American West, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains. While its summers are hot, St. George's mild and largely snow-free winters make it popular with golfers, hikers and bikers. In fact, Brigham Young wintered here – his home in town is open to the public.

You have to stop if you are in the area. A meandering path next to a man-made stream highlights the diversity of plant life for the area. Beautifully kept, clean, and all the plants are tagged!

This park is completely awesome. We took our 4 year old grandson and had an amazing time. My husband and I have travelled worldwide and this is the best free public park we have ever visited for children of all ages and abilities. Safe, clean and all areas in excellent condition. Kudos to St. George for providing this park to the public free of charge.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 919 reviews
Open to the public, the St. George Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.

My wife and I visited Pioneer park on our last day (8day trip) in St. George. Great scenic view of St. George from the north. Plenty of areas to Park and easy hiking with some hills and elevated rock formation. Alot of hard packed trails and expect red soils but shoes don't pick up the soil too much. Lots of great places to take photos. Additional hiking trails that go north and to the west of parking area. Yes, restroom available. This is actually our second trip to St George w/in 6mos. (we visited pioneer park in March 2020). Lots of areas to hike surrounding the city. Bring water -its a very dry climate. I'd expect that summer would be in temps hovering around 100+.

I read that this was in a residential area. It is NOT. While in the distance you can see some houses on your right driving in. I say this because this is a treasure to see. It was the first time we had seen Petroglyphs in the USA. These pictures seemed to be older than the ones I saw in Chile. To get to the pictures you drive over a road that requires a four wheel drive. Then you walk over paths that would be difficult to navigate with a walker, wheel chair or even a cane. Children will love it! Lots of room to run and not to many "do not" signs. I wish it were more protected. I could imagine it being destroyed by vandalism. It is a self walking tour. Really a fun trip.
9. Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site

This place is not hard to find once you get good directions. Had to go to Google to get the coordinates. Take highway 7 east from I15. Go to river road and take the gravel road heading south. You will see a petroglyph sign within a quarter mile or so. Then the adventures begin. It is a rough long road. You will eventually get there. The petroglyphs are still visible though a bit weathered. The hike is short as promised.

How do you summarize 45,000 acres of ever-changing terrain? Climbing sandstone boulders; hiking sagebrush mesas; navigating creekside and waterfalls; or strolling through patches of succulents. No matter where you are in Utah, you're likely near a trailhead that is part of this Conservation Area.
