I really liked how close everything was. You have the shuttle stops nearby, restaurants, little shops, places to grab coffee or ice cream, and of course those beautiful Zion views all around you! Even just driving into Springdale felt special because the scenery is already so pretty before you even get into the park! Since we were only there for one night, I appreciated how convenient it was. We were able to settle in, explore Zion, do some of the easier trails, grab food, and still feel like we got a really good taste of the area! Springdale has such a nice, relaxed feel to it. It's touristy, of course, but in a charming way. After coming from Vegas, it felt like a totally different pace, quieter, scenic, and just really peaceful! I really enjoyed staying in Springdale. It made our Zion trip simple, beautiful, and memorable. For a first overnight visit from Las Vegas, it was the perfect and I'd absolutely come back again. I want to try some of the more difficult trails at Zion!

When you take a tour, you'll quickly learn that the tour guides are all volunteer service missionaries from the LDS (Mormon) church and are a wealth of knowledge on the history of the town, the architecture and, of course, the church. Plan about an hour for a good tour along with time for questions and to take pictures. The building itself is used for lots of events-devotionals, musical concerts, etc. My wife and I attended a gospel music concert here that was outstanding. The pews are all wood, so a little uncomfortable, but I appreciate the nod to the pioneers in keeping with the traditional furniture.

Mood- Weird Stuff…read more Today was an exceptionally weird day. I went to work and wanted to see some stuff. So what better way to get that accomplished than to hop in the car and research. This Spider was fabricated out of galvanized steel by Deveren Farley in 2018. It weighs over a ton, and stands 17 feet tall. This sculpture was meant to get an emotional response from people that viewed it. The head is crafted out of Utah License plates while the belly has a stop sign on it. All of the license plates that were used came from the evidence department of the Salt Lake City PD. Originally this art installation was at Main Street in a traffic circle until a local exterminator Morgan Termite and Pest Control purchased it and changed the residence to in front of his business. Would def recommend - the thought that was put into this art installation is what drew me to come and enjoy it. Pricing is free as it is out of front of a business. Location is Hilton Dr - St George UT - ample parking

Bring a good car to do a little off-roading because the road can get a little rough on the way there. When you get there, there is no hiking required. You can see the crystals sparking right off the road! There is info on the place and info on the type of crystal you can find there in the front. It was cool to learn about the area. There is also a Venmo code and a prices list. You pay by the handful or the bucket. The kids loved walking around for the biggest crystal and looking at the giant crystal in the middle! Some of the crystals can be sharp so be careful! We cut ourselves a few times.

I loved the Downtown St. George! There are so many pieces of art that are free to see as you walk around! Art Around The Corner has done an amazing job with lots of great sculptures out in the open! They are scattered all around Downtown. The website lists 36 of them and you can use the map to take a walking tour. It was quite hot when we arrived, so we didn't walk around more than 30 minutes. We went to the St. George Town Square Park and checked it out. There are lots of sculptures as well! There are some great water features where we saw children enjoying themselves! We ate at J. Dawg's and then went to Zeppe's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, both recommended by my son & his wife. These are really inexpensive and delicious options! After eating at both places, I highly recommend them, too! I don't even like hot dogs, but I'd go again! Be sure to get their fries ... super!! If you're headed to Zion or Bryce National Parks, this is a great place to stop for the night. It is only about 45 minutes to Zion. We have been through St. George a handful of times, but never really stopped to enjoy it. This is a really great little town and I'm sure we'll stop again next time we are this way!!

This review is for the St. George City, Utah Water Department for their introduction of the…read moreEyeOnWater program where they've installed Leak Alert Detector devices on our water meters and an app to download and review the usage in real-time. Recently, I received an email notice from the Water Department, stating that my water meter was now equipped with the leak detector and at no additional cost, I could download the EyeOnWater app, enroll and monitor my usage in real time. That day I received a push notice I had an 8 1/2 gal/hr. (192 gal/day) leak since installing the leak detector on September 18th that I was completely unaware of. The leak was observed at that time only because the detector was installed that day, but most likely, the leak could have been there for years. Then the quest to find it began. Since I already knew, thank God, where the water system for the Main and irrigation system met at the south side of my house, I began digging there (I was unable to find any areas of puddling water anywhere on my property that could indicate a possible leak) luckily within a short time the ground began showing moisture, then mud, then finally water. It was my Main water line that the geniuses who backfilled the trench when the home was built, dumped a 50 lb. boulder on it. (SMH), thanks, Ence Homes! In the end, the repair went well, saving thousands of dollars from having to pay plumbing professionals $$$$$. I am extremely grateful that the St. George Water Department made the decision to put these leak detectors on and make them available for us to monitor. Update: 11.24.25 Now, having the opportunity to use the EyeOnWater app and monitor my water usage without the 192gal/day water leak, I find most days we're using under that amount in total unless we're doing laundry and/or outside irrigation. So, for possibly some years now, we've lost 192 gal/day, everyday thanks to the incompetent people Ence Homes contracted to backfill our irrigation/main water line trench. Our new Ence Homes slogan is, Ence Homes, the ROCK of homebuilding. (No pun intended.) We couldn't be more grateful to our St. George City Water Department for the incredible decision to place leak meters on our systems, which, again, was the deciding factor that exposed our leak. It is also fantastic to have an app that is as well, extremely useful for monitoring our water usage (every 15 minutes if we want to see how much water a flush, shower, washing machine or the outside irrigation usage is. Otherwise, we can monitor the usage weekly, monthly and/or annually.) from now on. Again, we are so grateful to our Water Department, THANK YOU!

The rain started to pour down and it became a bit of an adventure. Upon arriving you cant miss it. This pole is clearly seen from the intersection. It is on private grounds. The pole stands 81 feet tall and is adorned with license plates from all 50 states. Kimball Gardner is the proud owner of this roadside attraction as it sits in his yard. He welcomes you to drop off any plates you would like to have added to his continual work in progress. This work of art started in a smaller state of mind and after gaining much attention the pole had to be increased in size to allow for all of the plates that have been donated to his cause. Would def recommend as it is something to see. Even if just once. Pricing is free. However be mindful as it sits on private property. Location is E Washington Dam Rd - St George UT, ample parking on the street.
