Snow Canyon State Park

Classic films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid have been filmed at this state park and it's easy to see why with it's picture perfect scenery!

Don't be confused by the name—it's all about lava flows, cinder cones, and gorgeous red rock formations here. (The name comes from a couple of Mormon pioneers.) 38 miles of hiking trails deliver amazing photo ops. While you're hiking, keep your eyes out for some of the rare species found here. There are Gila monsters, desert tortoises, and peregrine falcons.

Go rock scrambling on the petrified sand dunes (cool!), or sign up with the park rangers for hikes through the lava tubes or moonlit night hikes that promise epic stargazing.

Campsites have water and power hookups for RVs, and they're incredibly affordable—but that means they can book fast. It gets seriously hot in the summer, so don't venture out without plenty of water.
