Just beautiful! We especially loved exploring the lava tubes! My husband is a bat biologist, so we were excited when we spotted bats inside them. Sad that there was graffiti and some trash (which we did carry out to help). That's disrespect on the visitors, not the park itself. Please, if you visit, DO NOT BREAK OPEN GLOW STICKS in the caves. There was evidence of this practice, which is very harmful to the natural environment and could hurt the bats that roost there. This is such a cool place, I hope people will respect it accordingly.

This was the most amazing place I've ever went to. So quiet, serene and enjoyable. $10 to get in was so much worth. $20 if you live outside Utah. I loved the beautiful weather,rocks and serenity this place is rich with. There are sharp lava rocks you can take home with you as souvenirs.You can park at the parking lot, walk just 5 minutes and be in the middle of heaven surrounded by the most amazing scenery of red rocks I've ever seen. It made me wonder, ponder and appreciate mother Earth.

Ich glaube in meinen ganzen Besuchen im Snow Canyon State Park bin ich schon jeden Trail gelaufen und bei jedem gibt es andere Highlights zu sehen. Der Eintritt liegt bei 10 USD und man kann getrost den ganzen Tag oder aber auch nur ein paar Stunden verbringen. Wir sind diesmal den Red Sands Trail (vormals Three Ponds) und danach den Padre Canyon Trail bis zum Eingang gelaufen. Der Padre Canyon hat mir besonders gut gefallen und man war zudem fast für sich alleine in wundervolle r Natur.

This is an amazing park with lots of incredible trails and scenery.Be sure to plan ahead with good walking clothes and shoes, plenty of water and snacks, and a great camera.If you are planning on going into the lava tubes be sure to have a good flashlight (headlamp ideally so your hands are free).

The Snow Canyon State Park is worth having seen it, a must see, therefore also 5 stars. Did hike several trails and each was worth it. Would have loved to see a desert tortoise but was not that lucky - however - found a water filled pot whole up on one of the petrified sand dunes. Grateful to have been here, some awesome views I take as my memories with me.

We loved our visit here. We did a combination of the petrified dunes, the lava and the butterfly trails. The views where awesome and the trail was moderately easy, I would say. Be sure to weare at least running shoes and bring lot’s of water. Also, very friendly and helpful staff / volunteers!Restrooms: Toilets at some of the parking lots and some trailsDog-friendliness: We saw some dogs hiking with their humans on a leashPicnic area: Nice picnic tables at the visitor center with natural shade

What a great place to visit and enjoy the scenery. It was $15 dollars for non residents to get in and drive/walk around. The place is breathtaking and well worth your time.

This park has loads of trails, some are barely 100 yards long. We went on a about 4 of the hikes listed on the map - none were super challenging - but maybe we picked them that way :) Spectacular park, very clean, nice rangers. A really cool visitor center with a bunch of hummingbird feeders and rocking chairs.The best hike we did that day was Lava Flow Trail (something like that) - It was really neat and clearly marked - it was a little challenging up and down on rock formation - but not too bad.This whole park was pretty empty on a weekday in September

What a beautiful place to visit any time of the year. You can dry camp or have hookups for your RV. Many walking trails to explore as well as petroglyphs and the Pioneer Trail names writen on the Red Rock Walls from the pioneers. There are petrified sand dunes, the Butterfly Trail which is an easy must-do hike for the entire family. You have to experience it to appreciate it. St. George, Utah is nearby if you want to stay in a hotel. Lots of restaurants locally as well. Many other trails in the area as well. Please observe the 25MPH speed limit. Turtles, other wildlife and pedestrian traffic are everywhere.Thank you and enjoy

While the wife and I were visiting St George for a couple days, we got up early and went to Snow Canyon to see what's what before the heat (90+) later in the day.We entered via the North Entrance. We did not plan that, Google Maps guided us there.A very nice gate attendant took our $15 for access, gave us a map and pointed out some points of interest. He asked if we were hiker people and I said, "No, we are mostly brunch people." He did not get it, but I laughed. The wife just shook her head.The first destination was the Petrified Sand Dunes, a 1.2 mile round trip, moderate hike according to the map info. It was a well labeled trail and once you get to the petrified dunes the markers turn in to small metal domes on the ground pointing the back and forth direction of the path they want you to follow. You could always see the next dome. It was a moderate hike with some scaling of the petrified dunes. They were great to walk on, since it was rough and you did not have to worry about slipping. The dunes were very cool and worth the short hike to see. By the time we returned to the car, it was already warm. We cooled off in the car.The goals of the Butterfly Trail is to see the rock formation that looks like butterfly wings and the lava tubes. I read the map as a 1.2 mile round trip, easy hike so off we went. The trail started easy, but soon we were scaling down a moderate decline of petrified sand. This was harder than the pervious trail, so why "easy"? We continued and it was getting hotter. Bring water, see the ProTip below. The trail went back and forth from easy to more difficult and there was some inclines that were burning my out of shape, thighs. The nice thing at this point was we were walking along the canyon, so there was shade. We walked right by the butterfly wings and when we broke out to a clearing I was hot and a bit tired. After a bit and seeing people off in the distance we headed back. We did see the cool butterfly wing stones but neither the wife or I took a pic. We got back to the car and fired up the AC to cool off and drink water. I pulled up the map and re-read the description. The hike was actually 2 miles RT and moderate. I had mistakenly read the description of the hike above Butterfly.We went to the Tortoise Walk Trail. It was short and flat walk to the end. I was expecting a rock formation with a tortoise shape, but at the end was an actual sculpture of a tortoise. About three feet high and 10 feet around. It was OK and I was glad it was an easy hike to see it.After cooling off again and some more water, we headed off to Pioneer Names Trail. A 0.5 RT hike and easy. We passed the entrance and then parked across the street in a little lot. Off we went to find the pioneer names and came across a very cool "almost" arch, see the picture. Looking up from the bottom was impressive and I had to wonder how many times slabs fall off the cliff on to unsuspecting visitors like me. Again, we were against the cliff and it was 15 degrees cooler than in the sun. Easy hike, but way more than 1/4 of a mile, but it was nice and cool so we kept walking. Finally we got there and high above in a shallow, large cave were huge letters and numbers with pioneer names and dates, some back to 1851. You don't get close unless you scale up the moderate climb and some people were up there. I'm not sure if you are supposed to, but we could see the names and took some pics. Some people can't control themselves, so two idiots named Dave and Robert some how managed to put there names up in the same location. What can you say, people are morons sometimes. What I determined was that the 0.5 mile RT hike was from the north start of the trail and we started from the south. It was not much longer, so we headed back the same way we came and got to the car.Next stop, Red Sand Dunes. This was a 0.5 mile RT, easy hike. I made sure to read the descriptions in detail now. Could not find the walking path labeled so we saw the bike path at the rear of the parking lot and walked that way. We wal
