Local National Parks
St. George, Utah is the perfect location for exploring America's Grand Circle of scenic wonders and National Parks. Three of Americas most spectacular parks are within driving distance of St. George: Zion National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Bryce National Park.
Zion National Park
Utah's first National Park. Massive canyon walls ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. To experience Zion, you need to walk among the towering cliffs, or challenge your courage in a small narrow canyon. These unique sandstone cliffs range in color from cream, to pink, to red. They could be described as sand castles crowning desert canyons. Zion's unique geographic location and variety of life zones combine to create a variety of habitats for a surprising array of plant and animal species. Located on the Colorado Plateau, but bordering the Great Basin and Mojave Desert Provinces, Zion is home to plants from each region. The park is characterized by high plateaus, a maze of narrow, deep sandstone canyons and striking rock towers and mesas. (25 minute drive from St George, UT).
Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is considered one of the natural wonders of the world largely because of its natural features. The exposed geologic strata - layer upon layer from the basement Vishnu schist to the capping Kaibab limestone - rise over a mile above the river, representing one of the most complete records of geological history that can be seen anywhere in the world. Geologic formations such as gneiss and schist found at the bottom of the Canyon date back 1,800 million years. This geologic incline creates a diversity of biotic communities, and five of the seven life zones are present in the park. (2 hour 15 minutes drive from St George, UT).
Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is a scientist's laboratory and a child's playground. Because Bryce transcends 2000 feet (650 m) of elevation, the park exists in three distinct climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest. This diversity of habitat provides for high biodiversity. Here at Bryce, you can enjoy over 100 species of birds, dozens of mammals, and more than a thousand plant species. It is the uniqueness of the rocks that caused Bryce Canyon to be designated as a national park--these famous spires, called "hoodoos," (1 hour 15 minutes from St George, UT).
Recreation
Mild winter temperatures and hundreds of square miles of scenic wilderness have made southern Utah a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With a variety of sports and activities, there is something to satisfy every age and passion.
Golf
In proportion to its population, the St. George area offers more golf than any other place in Utah. This sun-drenched oasis offers 13 challenging courses with inspiring vistas, warm year-round temperatures and some of the finest course designs in the Sunbelt.
Fishing
There are numerous lakes and streams in Washington County. From low desert to high mountains you'll find bass, trout and other fishing is excellent. Water sources from Zion National Park and the 10,000 foot high Pine Valley Mountain bring streams filled with trout to reservoirs such as Gunlock, Baker, Quail Creek, Sand Hollow, Kolob and others.
Horseback Riding
Hundreds of miles of trails through scenic red rock mountains and valleys make horseback riding in southern Utah a one of a kind experience.

The Huntsman World Senior Games
October
The HUNTSMAN WORLD SENIOR GAMES, as it is known today, began in 1987 as the World Senior Games, an international senior sports competition. Founded by Daisy and John H. Morgan, Jr., the Games began with their vision of an international sports event for men and women ages 55 and better. Both agreed that the golden years were better when good health and physical fitness became a way of life, not an occasional hobby. Since its inception, the Games have been open to all men and women meeting the age requirement. The second year of the Games the age requirement was reduced from age 55 to age 50 to include more athletes and to encourage those looking at retirement to become involved in a personal fitness program or team sport.
St George, UT Spas

Green Valley has been described as the "best mid-sized spa in America" (by Spa Finder Magazine), "among the best spas in North America" (by Conde Nast Traveler), and one of the Top-3 spas in the world (by Travel & Leisure).
