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.

St George Activities, Food, And Hiking

 Hikes to do

1. Mill Creek Trail, Red Cliffs Desert Reserve 

2. Dino Cliffs- It was sorta rough to find more than one consistent spot where there was a dino foot print. But I was happy to see it, the kids didn't enjoy this hike as much.
