Snow Canyon State Park is one of Utah’s most underrated natural wonders 🌋
Located just outside St. George, a few steps from blackdesertresort, this stunning park is known for its dramatic red and white sandstone cliffs, ancient lava flows, petrified dunes, and narrow slot canyons.
Despite its name, Snow Canyon isn’t snowy at all — it’s a warm desert landscape. With scenic drives, easy hikes, and otherworldly viewpoints, it’s the perfect place to experience Utah’s wild beauty without the crowds of the big national parks.
Those black lava flows you see? They’re some of the youngest lava formations in Utah.
Snow Canyon gets its name from early settlers, not from snow - the white sandstone fooled them.
This place looks just like Mars! Save this post for your future travels!
