Jamie West St George Activities

 St George Stuff

Activities

• Children’s Museum 

• Santa Clara Pool – we call it the frog pool. Go on a school day if you are going to be there during the week around 1 or 2 o’clock and you will have the pool almost to yourself. 

• Red Rocks “Pioneer Park” – I am sure you have done these up with the D on them but my kids love it. Lots of fun places to climb and explore 

• Red Hills desert Gardens – On the east end of the red rocks there is a garden with all sorts of fun stepping stones, etc. my kids love to play here. 

• Mountain biking – Bear claw Poppy Trail for adults or older kids. 

• Kids Biking – there is a fun dirt bike part right behind the Santa Clara pool. 

• So many paved walking trails to ride bikes or walk on. We have explored them all. 

• Tuacahn – great shows a bit pricey

• Temple Square Visitors center – have so many fun activities for kids and teens. We spent 3 hours there. 

Food

• Mad Pita – Washington close to the Costco – Best Greek food I have ever had

• Benja’s Thai and Sushi – We usually order take out with the kiddos and just take it back to our place – really good Tai Food!

• Thomas Judd Store – Fun store for a drink or treat …literally has so many fun drinks and treats. Also serve soups and really good bread sticks. 

• Allure Café

• Even Stevens – this is Colin’s favorite has a fun vibe 

• Bear Paw Café – great for breakfast 

• The Egg and I – great for breakfast or lunch

• Pizza places – Pizza limone, Riggatti’s Wood fired Pizza. 

Hikes 

• Chuckwalla Trail – also called Turtle Trail just at the top of Bluff ST. 

• The trail right outside snow canyon – Right before you have to pay to get into snow canyon you will see a parking lot to the left across the street is a great trail to a waterfall and little pool certain times of the year. 

• Anasazi trail (tempi’po’op – can see actually petroglyphs.)

• There is a hike just out of Kannaraville that we love.

• Temple Quarry Trail.  

Parks

• Tonaquin Park – Thunder Junction is the dinosaur park.  Also, if you walk north east of the dinasour park there are tennis courts and a really fun nature center with ducks to feed.  

• Cottonwood Park – great park has a rock climbing wall.

• Town Square Park – more for little kids but is like a fun natural splash pad, rocks to climb on, a merry go round. 

Moab Activities and Hikes

 Places to stay-

1. Red Cliffs Lodge- we stayed here when Logan went to a English Teachers Retreat, it was beautiful by the Colorado river and surrounded with tall red rocks, it was so quiet and enjoyable. Its located 25 minutes north east of Moab, worth the beautiful drive

2. Expedition Lodge- it had bunk beds for kids, pool and hot tub. We went in February b/c we knew it'd be less busy and cheaper hotel rates.

Hike

Mill Creek Trail- hiking in water and red rocks, Mel and Drew Chambers did this and shared pictures

Hiking Trails-
1. Pleasant view trail, can be as long or short as u want, great views- http://thebesstyet.com/hiking-pleasant-view-trailhead/
2. Barker park trail, simple easy walk (Jamie we've done B4)
3. Top of 1050 (all up hill, it'd be hard with kids) but there's a pond at the top
4. Open Canal trail, wide dirt road leads to single walking/biking trail but may be too long for kids
5. Green waste hike (could be good for meandering, better in spring when theres a small runoff)
6. Bonneville shoreline- lookout point (going into North Ogden cyn) going south and a different trail going north
7. Top of North Ogden cyn
8. 21st pond in Ogden
9. Beus Canyon- can be an intense incline if your going fast, but we take it slow with the kids. Plus theres a small creek running along the trail. I always love that
10. Burch Creek- not as well traveled, smaller single trail and runs along a small creek.
11. Jumpoff Canyon- well manicured and kept nice, not many trees but an awesome huge rocky mountain to hike up by
12. Cold Water Canyon- You can get there by starting at #5 green waste hike or starting a little more south by the open canal, theres a dirt road that goes straight up the mountain. Its faster than the green waste dump but is intense.
