IVINS, Utah – Don’t be fooled by the name. The only white stuff you’re likely to see in Snow Canyon State Park in southwestern Utah is the creamy white cliffs of Navajo sandstone that form a stunning natural amphitheater at the northern end of the canyon.
True, Snow Canyon isn’t suitable for skiing or sledding. It is, however, ideal for cyclists who want to pedal through a strikingly colorful canyon full of black lava flows, burnt orange sand dunes and a diversity of plants and wildlife, including the threatened Mojave Desert tortoise.
