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.

North Rim of the Grand Canyon







The north rim of Grand Canyon National Park is located 30 miles south of Jacob Lake on Highway 67; the Canyon rim is an additional 14 miles south. Jacob Lake is located in northern Arizona on Highway 89A, not far from the Utah border. Grand Canyon lies entirely within the state of Arizona.

From St. George, it is roughly 160 miles to the west end of the north rim. What a beautiful sight the Canyon is!!!!
