St George Travel Information
St. George is southern Utah's largest city. It occupies an
attractive stretch of green beneath red rock cliffs in Utah's desert
southwest. Its pleasant winter weather attracts a large number of
"snowbirds" from the north, who stay for extended periods in the
winter while their neighbors back home get socked. ("Utah's summer
spends the winter in St. George" its promoters say.)
St. George has some interesting historic buildings, lots of golf
courses and plenty of shopping. The golf courses have been known to
double as birdwatching destinations and birds unseen in most of Utah
are everywhere in these trees. Downtown is home to the landmark St.
George Tabernacle and the summer home of Brigham Young. The St. George
Art Museum celebrates Utah-local artist and the sprawling Rosenbruch
Wildlife Museum displays over 300 species in detailed dioramas.
Nearby is pretty Snow Canyon State Park (10 miles northwest) and
the pleasant alpine wilderness of the Pine Valley Mountains (38 miles
north). St. George also works as a base from which to visit Zion
National Park (40 miles northeast). Recreational activities of a
different sort are available at the casinos in Mesquite, Nevada (30
miles southwest). View
