Leeds Creek Kiln Trail
Need a break from the summer heat along with some local history and great mountain and woodland views? If yes, the easy Leeds Creek Kiln Trail hike (aka Children’s Forest at the Kiln Trail) may be for you. While not far from St. George, this short hike is almost 2,000 feet higher elevation than the St. George area. Hence, the hike is a bit cooler, about five degrees.
Lion’s Mouth Cave Trail in the Dixie National Forest
This family friendly short hike is worth the effort. We spent less than an hour hiking about one mile for this exploration. If you enjoy musing about the meanings of ancient rock paintings in a national forest, give Lion’s Mouth Cave Trail a try.
Canyon Overlook Trail Still Delivers One of Zion’s Biggest Payoffs Per Step
