Trail Information

Jenny's Canyon is a great way for young children to experience the beauties of slot canyons and rock formations. As you approach the slot canyon, the trail branches. To the left is Jenny's canyon, a mini-slot canyon with some interesting rock formations flanking the canyon. To the right is Jenny's overlook, from which you can see the Sand Dunes of Snow Canyon, and some views of the mountains south of St. George. I did this trail with a 6 month old baby, and he loved it!

(Note: there is a $6 per vehicle per day fee to enter Snow Canyon.)
