OVERVIEW

Southern Utah's St. George area is a winter off-roading paradise. While northern trails are buried in snow, Sand Hollow and the surrounding desert offer year-round riding in a dramatic landscape of red Navajo sandstone, deep sand washes, and petrified dunes. The reservoir provides a beautiful backdrop, and the nearby towns of St. George and Hurricane offer all the amenities you need. Zion National Park is just 45 minutes away for a day of hiking between trail rides.
