OutdoorEasyYear-round

Scramble over red rock formations, explore slot canyons, and enjoy panoramic city views at this unique city park. Great for families and adventurers alike.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Wear shoes with high-traction rubber soles to safely grip the sandstone while scrambling over the formations.
  • 2Allocate 1 to 2 hours to explore the main area, including a walk through the narrow 'Dixie Rock' slot canyon.
  • 3Access the park via Red Hills Parkway where you will find free parking lots located directly at the trailheads.
  • 4Bring a minimum of one liter of water per person, as the exposed red rock intensifies the desert heat.
  • 5Walk toward the historic gazebo at the park's highest point for the most unobstructed 360-degree views of the St. George valley.
  • 6Pack a headlamp if you plan to explore the deeper crevices or stay for the sunset over the city skyline.
