Hike

Not to be confused with the Narrows of Zion National Park, the St. George Narrows, also referred to by locals as the "Crack", are located near downtown St.George, Utah just a stones throw from many popular shopping centers and hotspots. Located in scenic Pioneer park, the St. George narrows offers a unique experience that you don't have to go outside of the city limits for. The Red Bluff Gardens are located near the entrance of the park which offers beautiful desert scenery, as well as a small trail that gives information about animals and plants native to Southern Utah. 

The small slot canyon is about 0.17 miles in length and is a perfect introduction to the adventures you are likely to have as you explore scenic St. George. Pioneer Park offers other trails in the same park such as the Dixie Sugarbluff trail, the Pioneer Park arch trail, the Powell Eagle Nest, and the Pioneer "Cabin" trail. It is a great place to spend some time just before you leave town for a last minute adventure or if you are killing time between activities in the St. George area. It is safe to bring children in to the St. George Narrows and don't worry about any water due to flash floods or the mighty Virgin River flowing through, these narrows are completely dry!
