Photos of
Snow Canyon State Park in Utah
|
These are photos of Snow Canyon State Park in St. George, Utah. The park offers a few very nice hikes through
reddish-orange sandstone hills and mountains, black lava rocks and boulders, and a few lava tube caves. The
park is located within about an hour of Zion National Park and makes a nice diversion for those that travel
frequently to this part of the U.S. This is a destination well worth a day of hiking to see. For more
information about Snow Canyon
State Park, visit their official website at:
