About Snow Canyon State Park

Snow Canyon State Park is located in southwestern Utah. Surprisingly, this area rarely gets snow; the name of the park actually comes from previous Utah leaders, Lorenzo and Erastus Snow. This red-rock landscape has mild weather, making it an ideal vacation destination for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors with the family.

You can enjoy picnicking, playing in the sand, hiking, bike riding, and putting your photography skills to the test. Take a step back in time by viewing the historic petroglyphs of the pioneers who passed through and explore the geological marvels of the lava tubes.

The whole family is going to love this day trip to the Snow Canyon State Park and ask when they can go back to visit again!
