Snow Canyon State Park, State park in Washington County, United States
The 7-square-mile park features red and white sandstone cliffs, ancient lava flows, and coral-colored sand dunes within the Mojave Desert landscape.
The park area was home to Ancestral Puebloans between 200 and 1250 CE, followed by Southern Paiute tribes until Mormon pioneers arrived.
Native American petroglyphs found throughout the park walls provide evidence of early human habitation and artistic expression in this region.
The park maintains 15 miles of hiking trails, 31 campsites with electrical hookups, and remains open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM.
The park contains extinct cinder cones and lava tubes from volcanic activity, hosting rare desert species like Gila monsters and leopard lizards.
