Day trip near St George, Utah
This itinerary is great to pair with others on my page! This loop can take all day if you do each activity. Spend as much time as you want at each place but be aware of how much time is left before it gets dark.
Things to bring
• drinks
• lunch and snacks
• sturdy shoes with good grip
• jackets / hats / etc. (Based on weather)
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
Bring your stuff for sledding!
Whether the dunes are covered in snow or bone dry you can sled down them. You can hike around and explore, we found a waterfall on the mountainside. Be careful for four-wheelers and other vehicles driving fast further out in the dunes. It does get cold in the winter!

Moqui caves
The hike to the sand caves is a bit slippery and steep in some spots. You'll need shoes with good grip. Although I am afraid of heights I was able to do this hike. We saw plenty of young children and older individuals as well.
This is a good spot to take a lunch break and use the bathroom.

Belly of the dragon
On your way to Zions National Park, you can make a pit stop here. It is a man-made tunnel that goes under the road to accommodate water flow.
