Snow Canyon SP

Snow Canyon's rolling petrified dunes, red and white sandstone cliffs, and stark-black lava flows make a stunning landscape. The Colorado Plateau, Mojave and Great Basin deserts meet at Snow Canyon with diverse geology, habitat and wildlife. Snow Canyon State Park contains several sandstone canyons cut in the Red Mountains. On the north end of the park, West Canyon and Snow Canyon follow a parallel southward path and converge in the middle of the park. The park then continues south-by-southeastward as a single, larger canyon, that opens near the park's southern entrance out onto the Santa Clara bench near Ivins, Utah.
