Here is a small state park (10dol entry) little known to tourists and yet magnificent You can cover the 3 main small trails in half a day (with no difference in altitude but in stifling heat) to see petrified dunes, a magnificent lava flow (you can descend in 2 "tubes": bring a headlamp) a "red canyon" " wild or walk barefoot on beautiful soft red sand! A very beautiful cycle path crosses it Small visitor center for information Possibility of camping (super equipped ) Favor hiking early in the morning A nice half day near St-Georges/Washington

We drove through this beautiful park on the way from Zion to Las Vegas. What a stunner! For us, mid day was too hot to hike with no shade so we settled for a gorgeous drive , utilizing many of the pullouts. Would love to return to explore more

We rented ebikes and rode into the park. We stopped and hiked Jenny's Canyon first, a short hike up into a small slot canyon. Then we ride the bike trail up to the Petrified Dunes and hiked up into the dunes for a great overlook of the park. It was lots of fun scrambling over the dunes and exploring. We then turned back and rode the Red Sands trail to the end. After returning our ebikes we also drove up to the Cinder Cone and hiked to the top. It was a steep trail and tough in the heat.

Do not skip this park! It was so awesome! The ranger at the welcome center was very friendly. Definitely worth the price per car load to get into the park. It was 110 degrees the afternoon we were there, so we only did Jenny’s Canyon and the hike to the turtle sculpture. Jenny’s Canyon was awesome! It is deep sand on most of the hike, so wear tennis shoes or hiking shoes. Even if you o ky drove through the park and don’t do any hikes, I think it was worth the entrance fee. Very unique and beautiful park.

We spent a few hours here at the beginning of August 2024. Temperatures ranged between 202 and 206 Fahrenheit. There is a very small visitor center. And they do not recommend hiking in that kind of heat. But if you do, be sure to bring large amounts of water, together with water spray and wet towels. Hats are also essential. As for the park itself, there are many beautiful places with very impressive rock formations. Although some may disagree, Zion National Park is more stunning and impressive. Nevertheless, if you wish to avoid crowds and parking hassles, this is a good place to visit. We would definitely recommend a visit here if you are staying in St. George, Utah.

Beautiful rocks. Lots of birds and ants and lizards. Some spots are spacious. Lot 26 is the best location imo. Showers are code locked so call before you arrive during "regular business hours" or arrive before 5pm and be ready to track down a ranger to get a code (we failed to bag one and went without a shower).
