On the first day of my road trip, I visited Snow Canyon State Park. It was a very warm day, with blue skies and loads of sunshine. The red Navajo Sandstone, topped with an overlay of black lava rock, made this place very unique looking from most of the parks I have been to.
The park was created in 1958, being originally called DIxie State Park, and later being renamed Snow Canyon State Park after two pioneering leaders, Lorenzo and Erastus Snow. Several movies have been filmed here, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Electric Horseman, and Jeremiah Johnson.
