Southern Utah: 28 Reasons I L💝VE Thee!

 

February's ActiveRain Challenge is all about what makes your neighborhood, city, town or selling area, a most desirable place to live, love and laugh. It might be the friendly atmosphere, outdoor recreational activities, history, stunning architecture, yearly events or culture. Mine is all that & more!

 

For the 28 days of February, these reasons come to mind:

1. 300 days of sunshine 

2. Mild winter weather

3. Outdoor playground

4. Amazing red rock views!

 

 

5. 13 Golf courses - Southern Utah residents and visitors enjoy 365 days of playing a challenging round of golf! From a quick, 9-hole course to an 18-hole course, designed by Johnny Miller (Estrada Golf Club) and Matt Dye (The Ledges).

Southern Utah Golf Courses:

6. City parks

7. Small town feel

8. Friendly residents

9. Large volunteer base - Many yearly events that bring in thousands of participants depend heavily on the giving spirit of southern Utah's residents to pitch in and provide overall venue support.  

10. Hiking trails

11. Biking trails

12. Fishing spots  

13. Kayaking

 

14. State/National parks

  • Zion National Park - Springdale, Utah
    Home to Zion Canyon with sheer rock faces and jutting cliffs. More than 3 million people visit each year, the park offers hiking trails, climbing, camping, gifts shops, dining & more.
  • Snow Canyon State Park - St. George, Utah
    Home to majestic red and white sandstone formations, amazing soft and hard-scapes at every turn. This park offers moderate nature hiking to advanced trails, climbing, camping & more.
  • Bryce Canyon National Park - near Tropic and Panguitch, Utah
    A geological wonder, sitting on top of the Grand Staircase with a series of natural ampitheatres, multiple scenic overlooks & trails offering views of towering, coral colored spires.

15. Veyo Pies

16. Live entertainment

17. Tuacahn amphitheater

18. Long gardening season

19. Honey bees - Nerdin Gardens depends on pollination for overall success and the honey bee hive we have on site is priceless. Our yearly grow list keeps them in pollen and they provide us with bountiful harvests!

20. St. George Art Festival

21. St George Area Parade of Homes 

22. St. George Marathon

23. St. George Ironman 70.3

24. St. George Ironman World

25. Back yard gardening

26. Music at the Silo - Several times a year we host parties that we call Silobrations. Live music is provided by local talents, games galore and food so good your taste buds shake hands with every bite!

27. Gathering with friends

28. Home Sweet Home!

 

 

Of course, every day is enriched with My Honey by my side. Together, we built a life here, that is both strong and committed. Collectively, many things offer us an exceptional environment, piece of mind & elevated living.

 

Southern Utah, oh how I L💝VE Thee!

Veyo pies and shakes are ahhhh-mazing, Brian England and the canyon offers exploring and catching crawdads. Our boys used to go there with their friends! It was nice to meet you and share our home with you.

Hi Wanda,

You sure can't argue with those 28 reasons!  When I started reading, the first 4 reasons could have been Sedona!  But then you got to 13 golf courses for number 5.  We only have 4 golf courses.  LOL!  Our areas have a lot of things in common.  I certainly can see what a wonderful area Southern Utah is and why you love it so much. What's not to love?

Many times, I have heard people compare them in some ways, Sheri Sperry - MCNE®. One day, perhaps we will visit and decide for ourselves. Until then, we will continue to enjoy our piece of paradise here in southern Utah!

Miss Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! I am left to wonder what is not to love about Southern Utah.  While I am not a golfer I do love the great outdoors and spending time in nature.  Where you live, you have it all!

Your in the right place if you love outdoor recreation. I remember visiting Bryce Canyon and Zion National parks as a Kid. My Dad loved traveling out west and visiting all the National Parks. A beautiful place to call home!
