Snow Canyon

Snow Canyon SP https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/snow-canyon/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Canyon_State_Park Snow Canyon State Park features a canyon carved from the red and white Navajo sandstone in the Red Mountains. The park is located near Ivins, Utah and St. George in Washington County. Other geological features of the state park include extinct cinder cones, lava tubes, lava flows, and sand dunes. Two canyons, West Canyon and Snow Canyon, begin side-by-side at the north gouging deeply into the sandstone of the Red Mountains, each canyon then running southward, slowly converging then finally meeting in the middle of the park. From there Snow Canyon continues south-by-southeastward as a single, larger canyon. Near the park's southern entrance, the canyon ends, its mouth opening out onto the Santa Clara bench near Ivins, Utah.

Snow Canyon’s rolling petrified dunes, red and white sandstone cliffs, and stark-black lava flows make a stunning landscape. Scramble across slick rock, run over sand dunes, descend into lava tubes, and enjoy well-maintained trails. Climbers, hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and nature lovers will all find something to enjoy. Watch for wildlife, like roadrunners and kit foxes, that wander across the sand dunes. Peregrine falcons and white-throated swifts soar and dive from the cliffs. Tortoises and Gila monsters venture out from their deep burrows. Snow Canyon is an amazing outdoor classroom and playground. Trail signs can introduce you to the Colorado Plateau, Mojave and Great Basin Deserts that meet at Snow Canyon and the diverse geology, habitat, and wildlife, like the federally protected desert tortoise and Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.

17 14 SHRUB LIVE OAK Quercus turbinella Found extensively throughout the park, shrub live oak forms low thickets. It has grayish green, prickly, holly-like leaves that remain year-round. Native cultures gathered its acorns for food and early settlers used the limbs and trunks for fence posts. Birds and mammals also eat the acorns and mule deer have been known to eat the leaves. The shrub provides shelter for birds and mammals. UTAH YUCCA Yucca utahensis Yucca was possibly the single most important non-cultivated plant to native peoples of the southwest. Buds, young flowers and tender growing stalks were eaten both raw and cooked, while leaves were chewed. Roots were used to make soap and cleaned fibers from yucca leaves were twisted into cord and small ropes to make sandals and mats. The dried stalks were used in making cradle boards. Female carpenter bees will tunnel into the dried flower stalks to lay their eggs. Do you see any small, circular holes in the dead stalks? Can you find any acorns or acorn caps in its branches? Without leaving the trail, look towards the red rocks behind the signpost. Can you see an arch? 15 18 BLACKBRUSH Coleogyne ramosissima Blackbrush gets its name from the older stems, which have a rough black bark. A characteristic of blackbrush is its pattern of intricate branches. Each successive pair of branchlets tends to be at right angles to the stems from which they arise. Smaller branchlets end in spines. Desert bighorn sheep and deer browse the plant despite its spiny nature. The fruits and seeds are eaten by small rodents and birds, such as ground squirrels and quail. 16 DESERT VARNISH At first glance, this blackish-maroon coating—in the distance—appears to be painted on the sandstone. It is actually an accumulation of minerals, iron and manganese, that are deposited as rain or groundwater move through the stone. Bacteria on the rock surface aid in the formation of these dark layers which can be very thin or several layers thick. The more manganese found in the mineral layer, the darker the varnish; the more iron, the redder the color. Desert varnish does not erode as quickly as the sandstone it covers. Do you notice any difference in appearance between the red sandstone that is covered with varnish as opposed to that without the varnish? CREOSOTE BUSH Larrea tridentata Researchers have dated stands of creosote in California and Arizona at between 11,000 and 12,000 years old. Creosote stands predate giant redwoods and bristlecone pines as one of the oldest living plants. Native cultures used creosote for a variety of medicines. Resins deposited on its stems by beetles were used to cement arrowheads to shafts, waterproof basketry and mend pottery. Small rodents, birds and reptiles use the plant for shelter. Though the leaves are unpalatable to wildlife, there are 22 species of bees that depend on the creosote’s yellow flowers for pollen and nectar. Creosote bush is found throughout the Mojave Desert. As you hike in Snow Canyon, look for creosote bushes to determine how far the Mojave habitat extends up the canyon. 19 PINYON PINE Pinus monophylla Your park fees provide for the care, protection and enhancement of this park.

This tree is often found in mixed stands with Utah Juniper. Mature trees average 20 feet in height and 18 inches in diameter. Leaves are needle-like, one to two inches long. The seeds are an important food source for songbirds, quail, squirrels and mule deer. Native cultures also relied on the pinyon seeds for food and were either eaten raw or roasted and ground into a flour. The seeds are still an important crop today. Can you find the Hidden Pinyon for which this trail is named? Utah State Parks WELCOME TO THE HIDDEN PINYON NATURE TRAIL. 6 Plan on approximately one hour to complete this 1.5-mile round-trip hike.

Utah is the place where prehistory intersects with the enduring spirit of the Old West. Wild, adventure-rich places cradle vibrant urban centers. With interstates and airplanes, the world can feel pretty small. On Utah’s designated scenic byways, the world feels grand; its horizons seem infinite. As you drive through Utah, you’ll inevitably encounter many of the state’s scenic byways. In total, Utah’s distinct topography provides the surface for 27 scenic byways, which add up to hundreds of miles of vivid travel experiences wherein the road trip is as memorable as the destination. Utah’s All-American Road: Scenic Byway 12 headlines the network of top roads thanks to landscapes and heritage unlike anywhere else in the nation. All of Utah’s scenic byways are explorative journeys filled with trailheads, scenic overlooks, museums, local flavors and vibrant communities where you can stop for the night or hook up your RV. Not sure where to start? In the following pages, you’ll discover monumental upheavals of exposed rock strata among multiple national and state parks along the All-American Road (pg. 4); dense concentrations of fossils along Dinosaur Diamond (pg. 8); and the blazing red cliffs and deep blue waters of Flaming Gorge–Uintas (pg. 12) — and that’s just in the first three highlighted byways. Your journey continues down two dozen additional byways, arranged north to south. Best of all, these byways access an outdoor adventureland you can hike, fish, bike, raft, climb and explore from sunup to sundown — then stay up to welcome the return of the Milky Way. But get some sleep. There’s more road ahead.
