We were looking for a warm place to camp in Southern Utah and, despite its name, Snow Canyon State Park near St. George, fit the bill. Snow Canyon refers to the layers of white sandstone that contrast with the more abundant red sandstone.
It doesn't look like it here but the rvs were all lined up a few feet apart.
The campground has a number of private, spacious, non-electric sites that butt right up agai st the rocks but we didn't reserve on time so we were stuck in the electric sites all lined up right next to each other. The view was still beautiful.
There was a Cooper's hawk nest in the pine tree next to our site.
Here the Cooper's hawk is perched in a nearby deciduous tree.
We went for a hike on the Nature train just across the road. We weren't expecting much, but it turned out to be a great hike creeping among the boulders, with very interesting information stops.
Eventually it came out in the open with great views.

Not surprisingly, given the amount of rocks, there were lots of rocks wrens singing away.
The next morning we hiked the main canyon loop.
First we scrambled up the petrified dunes.

The second tube was a larger Cavern.
