Because the St. George area is located between the Rocky Mountains and the desert southwest, it features the distinct landscapes of both. It has forested mountain ranges and high plateaus, along with rugged and starkly beautiful red rock desert.

Palm trees in Utah?....only in St. George!



I can remember the first time that I came down to southern Utah, to this town of St. George. One of the first things that stood out was the fact that I was seeing desert palm trees everywhere. Palm trees??? Here in St. George, Utah??? Yes, because of the hot dry desert climate, desert palm trees thrive down here. They sure do add to the unique, enchanting landscape beauty.
