TAKE a HIKE in the southern Utah area!

Temperatures hovering the 50s to low 60s are optimum for avid enthusiasts just itching to set out for a day's hike in the St. George area. Before you do, be sure to take precautions that ensure you stay on-track and get back home.

  • Map out the route. Be specific about the area you plan to hike and never go alone. Let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back.
  • Wear the appropriate clothing. Layer so you may take off and put back on as temperatures can drop during your time out. Nights may get very cool!
  • Take plenty of water and snacks. Moving around, climbing, jumping and jogging expel a lot of energy. Refueling only takes a few moments.
  • Keep a GPS in hand. Some areas may not have cell service but a navigational device will keep you moving in the right direction.
  • Stay the course. Being out in the wilderness is no time to get creative regarding short-cuts or setting out by yourself. Remain in the group.

Getting out and about in Washington County, Utah is refreshing, invigorating and eye opening! The beauty of the area is everchanging just as the climate is this time of year. Be proactive about your safety so you are able tell others about your exciting day and avoid being the subject of a search and rescue mission!

Take a hike but take precautions first!

GPS?!  Isn't the real hiker taking a compass and reading the starts on a cloudy night. 

Hiking is a great way to exercise.

Bill, I would definitely stick to the trail and pace myself...a GPS is a great tool too!

Sharon, There were several hiliers that were lost just a few days ago, with dogs, under dressed and thought this is a great time to mention this!

Andrew, Taking plenty of water is key on warmer days in southern Utah, just ask me, I can say that from experience. I used to go hiking with our two boys...miss those days!
