Situated at the foot of Snow Canyon State Park, Red Mountain Spa and Resort is a destination spa in St. George, Utah. Visit the Red Mountain Spa and Resort website for an idea of the Red Mountain Resort experience.
Red Mountain Resort is nestled at the base of Utah's Snow Canyon State Park. Snow Canyon offers a stunning backdrop of towering sandstone cliffs in red and white, and peaks and valleys of jumbled black lava rock interspersed with sandy washes. Stay at Red Mountain and you are a short walk to the 7,400-acre desert park that offers 16 miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, horseback riding, camping, nature studies, wildlife viewing, and photographic opportunities.
Lodging is in basic rooms, but you don't spend much time in them - so it doesn't matter. Pet-friendly rooms are available.
Breakfast and lunch offerings include a buffet. Dinner is a full menu - including appetizer, entree, and dessert. Calorie counts are available for each meal item. Because of the dry climate, sustainable water bottles are given to each guest upon check-in. There is a small snack bar with delicious items for purchase between meals.
Red Mountain offers cooking classes with the chef, and plenty other seminars and workshops, during the day and evenings.
Hiking is the main activity. Each morning several hikes leave from the resort. All activity levels are accommodated, and the hikes start after breakfast. Standard hikes return you to the resort in time for lunch. Special hikes to Zion National Park or Bryce Canyon National Park can be arranged. Bicycles are available to explore the area. Don't forget to schedule your Red Rock Massage at the spa for the afternoon following your hike.
A full indoor fitness center is available. Outdoor walks, guided cycle trips, and water aerobic classes let you take advantage of the beautiful scenary.
As mentioned earlier, don't miss the Red Rock massage. But don't stop there - facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures - the Sagestone Spa has it all.
This scene is representative of the landscape in the Utah area around Red Mountain and Snow Canyon. My favorite activity was a hike into the State Park with our yoga equipment, and enjoying a yoga session in a clearing on the sliprock. Of course my second favorite activity was relaxing in a hammock outside the pool, very relaxing.
It's easy to get to Red Mountain Resort. If you fly into Las Vegas' McCarran Airport, a van/shuttle leaves every couple of hours and has scheduled drop-offs right at the resort front door.
