Snow Canyon State Park
Yet another flawless example of the stunning beauty in the state of Utah comes from Snow Canyon State Park, a place named for two prominent Utah pioneers, Lorenzo and Erastus Snow, not because of the weather. In this 7,400-acre park, which consists of sandy dunes and massive red sandstone cliffs, a huge canyon is carved out in the ground. Visitors can explore Snow Canyon State Park on foot, by bike, or on horseback, along over 38 miles of hiking trails and 15 miles of equestrian trails. There is an abundance of desert life in the park, and keen-eyed visitors might spot a Gila monster sunning itself on a rock or a peregrine falcon diving for its prey.
