St. George

Built around a Mormon cotton mission beside the Virgin River, St. George grew into southern Utah’s principal city. It occupies a warm desert valley where the Mojave Desert meets the Colorado Plateau, with red sandstone formations defining much of the surrounding terrain. Snow Canyon State Park lies northwest of the city, known for its volcanic lava flows, petrified dunes and red-and-white cliffs. Downtown is anchored by the white St. George Utah Temple, completed in 1877 as the first temple built in Utah by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
