The Local Lookout
-Zen Trail-
For January’s Local Lookout, I am very excited to talk about my all-time favorite trail in the city. Zen Trail. Located on the west side of the city, ½ mile to the west of Green Valley Spa, Zen trail is about 6 miles long and gains roughly 1000 feet in elevation.
From the bottom of the valley, it is a long, gradual climb to the top of the anticline. Very unique and massive rock structures surround the trail near the top which look completely different than the typical St George red rock. If you like red rock, do not be deterred. From the top of the hill, you can see vast distances in every direction to include Zion, Kolob, Snow Canyon, and the city of St George. Some of the best views in the area can be enjoyed from the top.
This is a challenging ride or hike but can easily be cut short with an out and back versus doing the entire loop. For more information about the trail or other fun things to do in the area, please don’t hesitate to call or email me. Have a fantastic weekend and make sure to get out and enjoy the St George sun as the temperatures start to warm up!
Best, David Alderman
