St. George Travel Guide
In the fall of 1861, Brigham Young sent 309 families to establish a cotton-growing community in the semi-arid Virgin River Valley. Today, St. George has more than 60,000 inhabitants. Life in St. George, known as one of Utah's more conservative communities, is still strongly influenced by the Mormon church. At an elevation of 2,800 feet, the town is also a winter home to many snowbirdsnot the feathered variety, but humans who annually flee the snow and cold of more northern climes for this region's gentle winters. Despite the climate, this desert city appears quite green, with tree-lined streets and lovely grassy areas. You'll find more than a half-dozen golf courses, along with recreational and cultural facilities to suit most every taste.
