Snow Canyon State Park is a 7,400-acre park tucked amid lava flows and soaring sandstone cliffs. It sits inside the 62,000-acre Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, set up to protect the federally listed desert tortoise. Visitors explore trails and dunes on foot, bike and horseback. The campground is surrounded by ancient lava flows and red Navajo sandstone, and rangers run seasonal programs. A road closure on Snow Canyon Drive between the Upper Galoot and Hidden Pinyon parking lots was posted for mid-October, so check current conditions.
