Tag: hiking in St. George

One of the best things about living in the St. George area is that you can take a short drive and be in the wilderness. We, my wife Deb and I, needed an adventure close to home. Although we have been steady hikers in the St. George area for 17 years, we never hiked T-Bone Trail in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. It’s a moderately strenuous hike beginning in a barren landscape and ending in with the sandstone formations in Pioneer Park—let’s go.

Did you know there is an history steeped, easy, short hike with good views surrounded by urban St. George? There is, Temple Quarry Trail. It is a perfect mid-winter hike—in the sun and only 2.4 miles long round trip, not long enough to freeze even if it is a bit cold.

This merged out and back trail includes beautiful red rock formations, some distant arches, great views, and wildlife sighting opportunities.
