Southern Utah: 25 Must-Do High Desert Hikes

 

 

Welcome to southern Utah, where there's always more to explore! From the white sandstone bluffs and crimson cliffs to rock outcroppings and canyons, these adventurous playgrounds offer much to residents and visitors.

 

 

Any time of the year, you can find people out excitedly, traversing the trails. The southern Utah area offers mild winter weather, perfect for getting out. Bring a light jacket, water, sunscreen and sunglasses, you will need them.

 

 

Before setting out to conquer any trail, on any day, do the research on degree of difficulty and check the weather. Avoid the slot canyons on overcast, rainy days and always let outside parties know your location and expected return.

 

The following trails are some of the best in southern Utah. Enjoy!

1. Lower Calf Creek Falls

2. Mesa Arch

3. Golden Cathedral

4. Cassidy Arch

5. Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail

6. Paria Canyon

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! - WOW! Your phots are fantastic! Your landscaping is so different and beautiful! I think everyone should visit Utah at least once in their life time and better yet multiple times a year to enjoy the different seasons. 

I only passed through Utah once in the 1970s by car and it was February. I remember how gorgeous it looked. I felt like I landed on another planet.
