1) HellHole Canyon – Kayenta Canyon
First is Hellhole Canyon Trail. This hike takes you into a canyon that is not visible from the road, and, depending on the time of year, will reward you with a spectacular waterfall! The hike does have a few steep climbs and takes you along some drop-offs. Plan on taking a couple of hours, as this trail is roughly 3.2 miles round trip.2) Johnson Canyon – Snow Canyon State Park
Next is Johnson Canyon Trail. Johnson Canyon has seasonal access restrictions. Check current closures and ranger-led access before visiting. The trail passes through a lava flow field and into a canyon where you will see a spring and a 200-ft arch. As you make your way, there are many places to rest in the shade as well as a place to sit and have a picnic. Plan on taking about an hour of hiking there and back as this trail is roughly 1.8 miles long.3) Petrified Dunes – Snow Canyon State Park
Another great hike is Petrified Dunes Trail. This trail has mounds of petrified Navajo Sandstone and has some of the most incredible views in the park. The hike is one of the most photographed places in the area and includes a designated scrambling area. Stay within designated routes and scrambling areas, and follow park signs. Plan on taking about an hour of hiking as well. The hike is roughly 1.2 miles long.4) Lava Flow – Snow Canyon State Park
Following Petrified Dunes is Lava Flow Trail and it is also great for families. It takes you past three lava tube or cave entrances, and through a lava field. The trail is also very educational; signs along the trail explain all about the lava tubes. There are opportunities to explore the lava tubes, so make sure to bring flashlights! Lava Flow is a moderate, 2.6-mile round-trip hike over uneven ground. Allow time for the terrain and any permitted lava-tube exploration.5) Kanarra Creek – Kannaraville Falls
Last is Kannara Creek Trail. This trail takes you up a canyon and through lots of little streams and creeks. You won’t be able to complete it without getting wet, so plan accordingly. The trail crosses Kanarra Creek and eventually enters a slot in the canyon where hikers will enter a slit in the canyon. Water depth and flow vary. Kanarra Falls requires a permit, and the route includes slippery rocks and ladder climbing. Check the official permit and safety information; do not enter during thunderstorm warnings. Plan on taking about three hours to hike the trail, as it is about 4.8 miles long.Coming from Las Vegas? Check Las Vegas to St. George trips for your travel date.
