  Things To Do in 
  Southern Utah  

Zion National Park

Zion is home to many breathtaking views and scenic trails. While you are there check out the Zion Narrows trails originating at the Temple of Sinawava, Angel's Landing (best for ages 12+), and Checkerboard Mesa.  We also love to rent bikes and ride down the canyon!

Sand Hollow State Park

Sand Hollow State Park

Explore Sand Hollow on a Maverick Side By Side!  Ask the ranger to explain how to find the tunnel and drive through it and explore the area.  We love the trails and the different rock formations.  If you want to see Sand Hollow from the water, feel free to rent a boat for a day.  Many people call Sand Hollow a mini Lake Powell because it has rocks you can jump off and just looks a lot like parts of Lake Powell.

Grand Canyon, North Rim

The roads are small, so I recommend traveling both ways in daylight.  There is a scenic lodge at the North Rim that has a great menu.  The rocking chairs on the patio have spectacular views, and this is a place you could just sit for at least an hour.  Be sure to make sure the roads are open before you head out there as the North Rim roads can be closed due to snowfall.

Snow Canyon State Park

Snow Canyon State Park

One of my favorite Southern Utah hikes is the Lava Flow Trail at Snow Canyon State Park.  I pack headlamps and glow sticks for my kids, and enjoy the geology along the way.  The trail comes across an open lava tube with a natural staircase into an open cave.  This hike is 2.5 miles roundtrip and is moderate.

Tuacahn

Tuacahn is a fabulous outdoor amphitheater run by Disney, and I highly recommend seeing a show!

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park

Don’t miss the Hoodoos!  You need to hike under them to really see what they are all about.  My favorite trails are the Navajo Loop and Queen’s Garden Trail.  You can see a lot from your car, so drive to the end of the road and back again.  Be sure to spot the arches near Natural Bridge and Hole In The Rock Road.

Golfing

There are 12 courses that are within 20 miles of our Southern Utah houses. Golf courses include Bloomington Country Club, Coral Canyon Golf Club, Dixie Red Hills Golf Course, Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club, Green Spring Golf Course, Sand Hollow Golf Club, Sky Mountain Golf Course, Southgate Golf Club, Sunbrook Golf Club, Sunriver Golf Club, St. George Golf Club, and The Ledges Golf Club.
