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.

Summer is winding down



Tuesday, August 12, school begins here in St. George again. Parents and children are busy doing the necessary things to get ready.

It hasn’t seemed like much of a summer this year. We usually always reach temperatures up to 115-120 but that has not happened, unless it plans to do so in the next two weeks. We have hovered between 105 and 110 for our highs all summer.

I am ready for the cooler weather. Our winters average around the high of 50-60. We receive no snow to speak of. Maybe once the whole winter it will snow for 15 minutes up to a couple of hours, just long enough to put down a skiff of snow for the kids to play in and maybe roll a small snowman. Then it is all melted in a few hours.
