The BEST PLACES To See Fall Colors In Southern Utah

The older I get, the more I LOVE Autumn! It's so gorgeous, the temperatures aren't blistering hot, and we can finally wear those cool sweatshirts again! The thing that's tough about living in St. George, however, is WE DON'T GET THE GORGEOUS COLORS! Luckily though, we're close to some gorgeous areas where we can see those colors!

Here is the list of places within driving distance that you can see some awesome autumn colors!

Duck Creek Village:

Duck Creek Village is only a 40 minute drive from Cedar City, and only like 90 minutes from St. George and it's absolutely gorgeous! If you make it to Duck Creek, make sure you check out Hot Mama's Pizza! It's INCREDIBLE pizza! But make sure you hurry before all the fall colors are gone for the year.

Cedar Mountain:

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure you climb Cedar Mountain to get to Duck Creek. That means it's much closer to St. George and Cedar. You'll see some STUNNING fall colors up on that mountain too!

Zion National Park:

Zion and Springdale is already so gorgeous it's almost not even fair. Then you throw in fall colors? COME ON! Springdale is like 40 minutes from St. George and 40. minutes from Cedar. You can drive around, get out and park, go eat, go for a walk, whatever you want!

Beaver:

Beaver is a bit more North, but if you're really looking for some good colors, you'll find them up there. Beaver is about 90 minutes from St. George and about 40 minutes from Cedar City! Plus, if you stop at the gas station, you can get some I LOVE BEAVER merch!

Piute County:

Piute County is a little bit of a drive but it's beautiful up there! It's about a 2 hour drive from St. George and about 90 minutes from Cedar City. Piute County is located on the EASTERN SIDE of the mountain from Beaver. If you get up into the mountains there, you'll be in heaven!

Pine Valley:

Pine Valley is SUPER SUPER close! It's under an hour for both Cedar residents and St. George! They've got a cool little fishing pond out there and just flawless mountains! Go check out those colors!
