St. George is central to some of the most dramatic natural beauty in the American West, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains.

This park is completely awesome. We took our 4 year old grandson and had an amazing time. My husband and I have travelled worldwide and this is the best free public park we have ever visited for children of all ages and abilities. Safe, clean and all areas in excellent condition. Kudos to St. George for providing this park to the public free of charge.

The Kayenta Community, in southern Utah's red rock country, is a tranquil enclave surrounded by protected lands.A 2,000 acre master planned community of fine homes, custom building sites and community amenities, is located 7 miles west of St. George, Utah. Kayenta is a unique departure from the norm, focused on moderate land use, moderate-sustainable growth, and an appreciation for our magnificent natural setting. Nearby, residents find adventure in the southwest's abundance of places to explore. Zion National Park, Snow Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park are within view. While just beyond the horizon, adventure seekers will discover places like the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas.

We biked to Kayenta Art Village from IBB Cyclery where we rented bikes and had an awesome family ride up to the village where we ate at Xetava Gardens Cafe (Yum!). A beautiful, scenic ride back to the bike shop concluded a fabulous family outing.

This museum is a treasure trove of information, artifacts, photographs, and antiques from the Pioneer time frame. It isn't a busy place--which is really too bad--and is a terrific place to learn about the settlers and history of the southern Utah area.

Reviewed By Hunter6793 - Harris, United States
My wife and I visited Pioneer park on our last day (8day trip) in St. George. Great scenic view of St. George from the north. Plenty of areas to Park and easy hiking with some hills and elevated rock formation. Alot of hard packed trails and expect red soils but shoes don't pick up the soil too much. Lots of great places to take photos. Additional hiking trails that go north and to the west of parking area. Yes, restroom available. This is actually our second trip to St George w/in 6mos. (we visited pioneer park in March 2020). Lots of areas to hike surrounding the city. Bring water -its a very dry climate. I'd expect that summer would be in temps hovering around 100+.
