Ultimate Zion Overlook

St. George is a city located in southwestern Utah, on the Utah-Arizona border,
known regionally as Utah’s Dixie (a nickname given to the area for it’s warm
southern Utah climate which was historically used to grow cotton by early
settlers). The city is nestled in a scenic valley of desert vistas in the
northeastern Mojave Desert, adjacent to the majestic Pine Valley Mountains. St.
George has seen unprecedented growth and has become well-known for its
spectacular scenery, proximity to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park
and Grand Canyon National Park; a growing arts and cultural flare; year-round
golf, recreation, mild climate of over 300 sunny days a year, internationally
known events and a major southwestern retirement destination. In the 1990s, the
city was dubbed Utah’s Palm Springs as retirees were flocking here. Today,
however, St. George is growing into a diverse city of all walks of life, with a
current city population of over 80,000 and metropolitan area of nearly 156,000.
For locals and visitors alike, from the avid outdoor enthusiast to the more
cosmopolitan type, the area offers everything from ’A to Zion’.
