Walking on sunshine in southern Utah!

 

With over 110 miles of maintained walking trails to choose from, people are able to enjoy the great outdoors in southern Utah year 'round! 

 

What better way to get to know the St. George, Utah area better than to head out on the trails system? It was designed for active people in mind.

 

As Spring temperatures continue to climb, be sure you are hydrated and have fresh water on the ready as you travel on foot into the great outdoors. Please do not make the mistake of setting out unprepared, you may head toward heat stroke with a ride to the hospital in an ambulance.

 

Some advice while planning an extended walk:

  • Pace yourself
  • Apply sunscreen
  • Put on a hat or cap
  • Pack abundant H2O
  • Take along snacks

 

Follow these easy guidelines and your walk or hike will be much more comfortable and prepare you for any unexpected surprises that may come along. Stop every now and then and have a tall drink of water to remain vertical while out on your adventure. 

 

Here is a detailed map on the trails system. You can also click on name of trail below to gain more information on location and amenities provided.

Wanda, you live in such a beautiful area and it is great to see communities offer up exercise opportunities.  How harsh are your winters being in the high desert?

Thanks for sharing this - it is very informative.  I loved visiting Utah - it was one of the best vacations my family had, some much natural beauty.  The scenery was amazing.  Hiking or just going nature walking in one of the trails seems like a wonderful thing to do.

Shuchi Agrawal Thank you for stopping by today and am glad your visit to Utah was a FUN one!

Good morning, Wanda -- what a great way to discover Southern Utah --- amazing things can happen when we get out of our vehicles and really see what's "out there".   A great benefit for residents and visitors to your area.

WE are cloudy with a bit of mist. WE need the moisture, but this doesn't help a lot.

Hello Michael Jacobs There is so much to do here that visitors are unaware of  and would enjoy. We are an outdoorsy-driven area with natural beauty at every turn!

Ron & Alexandra Seigel I would love that and would definitely have to pace myself!

Early in the spring, people can get over enthusiastic about the weather and abuse their time outside.  Good post
