Tucked away in St. George is one of my favorite parks — Pioneer Park. This 52-acre park is the ultimate outdoor playground with hiking trails, rock climbing opportunities, and the coolest views. But, also found within this unique park is one area I highly recommend you explore — the St. George Narrows. This is a narrow slot canyon in Utah that is fun and perfect for a quick adventure. This area is easy, short, and delightful to visit any time of the year. There’s no wonder it’s worth driving across the state to explore.

Pioneer Park in St. George is a fun day trip destination for the entire family. Here, you will find all types of attractions including countless rock formations to view and climb.
