Cycling Etiquette and Safety

Cycling is one of the best ways to experience Snow Canyon State Park. However, before hopping on your bike and hitting the trail, watch this video first. These tips will help ensure your ride goes as smoothly as possible – and that you, other visitors, wildlife and the land can all continue to thrive. Watch the cycling safety video here.

Recreating with Dogs

Meet the B.A.R.K Rangers: B.A.R.K. Rangers Kodiak and Franky want to let you know all the trails in the park are now dog friendly! Snow Canyon is a special place to so many of us, and we want you to share it with your furry friends. To keep your pets safe, the park clean, and respect this shared space, we ask all visitors and their pups to follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger code.

B. Bag (and dispose of) your pets waste.

Dog feces can carry diseases that wild animals are more sensitive to than domestic animals. Not to mention, no one wants to hike around trying to while avoiding stepping in

A. Always wear a leash.

Snow Canyon is full of beauty, but also cliffs and wild animals that deserve their space. Even the best behaved of dogs can cause harmful amounts of stress to wildlife, such as the desert tortoise. In addition, Snow Canyon is a shared space, and you never know when another person or dog may be fearful of yours. For these reasons dogs are required to be on a leash at all times, and under the owners control. Leashes must be under 6ft.

R. Respect wildlife.

Rattlesnakes, gila monsters and coyotes, oh my! The presence of a dog may cause an animal to feel more threatened than a human alone. Maintaining your distance from wildlife will help keep your pup safe and wildlife unharmed. Even if they just approach the animal, it can do more harm than you realize. For example, tortoises may release their water reserve from their bladder as a self-defense mechanism when approached by a dog. This can leave the animal dangerously dehydrated.

K. Know where you can go.

Snow Canyon is a designated trail park. This means that off-trail hiking is not allowed. Always refer to your map to make sure that you are on a legal trail. Off trail travel can collapse burrows, trapping animals underground. So bring all your paws and boots to the trail!

Protect Our Past

• Leave All Artifacts: Moving or taking artifacts, even just one, can destroy the ability for archaeologists to learn from a site. Descendant groups often prefer for artifacts to remain in place.
• Guide Children Through Sites: Teach children to stay on trails and respect archaeological sites.
• View Sites From a Distance: If a site is not accessible, you may be injured trying to reach it or you could cause damage to other sites and ecosystems along the way.
• Don't Touch or Rock Imagery or Make Your Own: Touching rock imagery can leave oils from your hands on the rock that increase erosion and cause damage.
• Historic Artifacts Aren't Trash: Trash from more than 50 years ago is considered archaeology and archaeologists can learn about past people from it.
• Avoid Building Cairns: Land managers have created trail markers and signs, making additional cairns is unnecessary.

Climber Code of Ethics

As climbers we have a unique opportunity to be stewards of the environment we spend so much time in, and leaders in guaranteeing the preservation of it, and our ability to access our treasured outdoor resources. Help keep access to climbing sites and public lands open by doing the following:

1. Access

• Be aware of and observe seasonal closures, access requirements and agreements.
• Communicate to other climbers and user groups concerning these issues to make everyone aware.
• Carefully consider the consequences of your actions and the enjoyment of future visitors to the site.
• Check with the managing land agency (State Parks, National Parks, BLM, etc) before developing new routes or installing fixed hardware; permission or permits are typically required.

2. Impact

• Be a good steward of public lands: Protect native plants, animals, geology and the cultural resources of the site.
• Help reduce impact and preserve a safe climbing environment by keeping groups to six or fewer climbers.
• Respect other site users, both climbers and non-climbers by not sprawling your gear everywhere, or piling your gear and packs on top of other's gear and packs.
• Educate your group, particularly kids, about respecting others space and keeping noise down.
• Be respectful: Keep music low or turn it off if asked.
• Watch your language around other climbers or climbers with children.
• Protect sensitive sandstone: Wait at least 24-hours following rainstorms to climb.
• Avoid any actions that cause unnecessary erosion or impacts to fragile cryptobiotic soils.
• Use existing trails or washes and do not leave unnecessary cairns or markers.
• Avoid blazing new trails.
• Do not disturb nesting birds.
• Do not remove existing vegetation from a cliff.
• Don't manufacture holds or chip rock.
• In areas that allow dogs, please keep dogs on a leash to avoid harassment of wildlife.
• Respect other users by not allowing your dog to run around belayers and ropes, causing an unsafe distraction.

3. Waste

• Pack it in, pack it out (this includes human waste).
• Dispose of garbage and human waste in a hygienic and responsible manner.
• If you see rubbish left by other users please take it out too.
• Pay particular attention to the small things (cigarette butts, fruit labels and silver foil).
• They are an unsightly degradation to the climbing site.
• Use toilets where provided.
• If they are not available, bury human waste at least 6 to 8 inches deep and at least 200 steps from any water source, wash or access trail.
• Better yet, use a WAG Bag and carry out human waste and toilet paper.

4. Fire

• Fire is a serious threat to both safety and ecology.
• Avoid all risk of fire.
• Only light fires in designated fire rings in well-cleared areas.
• Think about where you are using your fuel stove and be responsible with its use.
• Observe all seasonal fire restrictions.
• Remember restrictions apply to fuel stoves and smokers.

5. Traditions

• Consider ethical issues established for the area you are using.
• Check in with local climbing shops, Federal (BLM, NPS, US Forest Service) or State Park headquarters if you are unsure about the use of chalk, placing fixed hardware, proper access to climbing sites, etc.
• In other words, ASK FIRST.
• Avoiding climber conflicts by respecting established climbing traditions related to specific sites.
• Avoid indiscriminate and excessive use of fixed hardware.
• Don't modify existing climbs.
• This includes retro bolting, chipping holds and adding holds.
• Preserve climbs in the spirit of the first ascent.
• Sometimes unsafe or outdated hardware may need replacement.
• Please check with the managing land agency before replacing or removing.

6. Safety

• A helmet can save your life.
• Your safety is your responsibility.
• Climbing is a high-risk activity and rock can be unstable.
• Pay attention to the age and use of your equipment and use good judgment when climbing.
• Alert uninformed or new climbers to potential dangers.
• Resolve any emerging disputes in a civilized manner.
• Keep noise levels to a minimum to ensure that all climbers can communicate with each other.
• Proper climbing checks and calls ensure that climbers at a cliff base are less likely to be in danger from falling rocks and climbing equipment, like dropped gear and pulled ropes.
• Communication between lead climber and belayer is essential.
• Screaming and yelling indiscriminately by other persons is a distraction and may cause an accident.
• If you are climbing with kids, educate them about the dangers of playing too near the drop zone where climbing is occurring.
• If you have a portable crib, DO NOT set it up where any potential rock fall, climber fall, rope fall, etc. might occur.

7. Commercial Use

• A Commercial Use Permit is required if you conduct commercial, for-profit activities on public land.
• This includes guided outings, therapeutic activities or other services rendered.
• Check with the managing land agency (NPS, BLM, State Parks, etc.) for more information.

Park wildlife (Desert Tortoise, Rattlesnakes, etc.)

What animals can I see and where and when can they be seen?

• Spring and fall are the best seasons for viewing wildlife. Wildlife most commonly seen throughout the park are rock squirrels, antelope ground squirrels, desert cottontails, ravens, scrub jays, turkey vultures, whiptail lizards and side-blotched lizards. Less frequently seen wildlife residents are desert tortoises, Gila monsters, snakes, falcons and owls.

Where can I see a desert tortoise?

• Tortoises are occasionally encountered throughout the park. Spring and fall are the best seasons for encounters since tortoises are in underground burrows during summer and winter. Keep an eye on the roadway and follow the posted speed limit signs. Baby tortoises are small and can look like rocks!

There’s a tortoise in the road, what do I do?

It is unlawful to harass or collect tortoises, but if you see one crossing the road and can safely move it out of harm’s way, please follow these steps:

• Stop your car in a safe place.
• Slowly approach the tortoise, noting the direction of travel.
• Pick it up using both hands and hold it in its normal walking position, level to the ground.
• Carefully carry it across the road in the same direction, taking it at least 50 feet from the roadway.
• Report your observations to park staff.

Are there rattlesnakes in the park?

• There are 11 species of snakes in the park. Only two are venomous species: The Great Basin rattlesnake and Mojave sidewinder. Snake encounters in the canyon are rare. Snakes are typically just as afraid of people as most people are of them and will attempt to flee unless they feel threatened.

Biking in the park (Rentals, E-Bikes and Trails)

Can I rent bicycles in the park? NO, but there are multiple bike rental companies throughout St. George and Ivins.

Are e-bikes allowed? YES. All posted speed limits apply. Riders are encouraged to watch our online safety and etiquette video and follow seasonally posted signs.

More information about E-bikes in Utah.

Where can I ride my bike?

In the main canyon: Snow Canyon Drive; the paved Whiptail trail; and West Canyon.

In Paradise Canyon: All trails except for the interior portion of the Gila trail which is impassable to bikes.

Note: Bikes are not allowed on the Johnson Canyon trail.

Sunrises, sunsets and petroglyphs

Photographing Sunrises and Sunsets: Where is the best spot for photographing sunrises and sunsets?

The best place in the park is at the Snow Canyon Scenic Overlook off of SR-18. The overlook is located one mile south of the north exit of the park on the west side of SR-18.

Petroglyphs: There are several sites along the Gila Trail, however, it is an 8-mile roundtrip hike.

The best places to see petroglyphs are on Federal BLM lands: Interagency Office at 345 East Riverside Dr. (St. George).
