About this tour

Trade the busy trails for the quieter, wilder side of Snow Canyon State Park on a guided hike to hidden petroglyphs and a mini-slot canyon. This Snow Canyon Petroglyphs Hike lets you choose a 3-mile or approximately 5-mile route, with the longer option gaining up to 650 feet in elevation.

Follow your guide across desert terrain where red rock, deep sand, loose stones, and slanted slick rock make every step part of the adventure. With light scrambling and frequent ups and downs, the route rewards steady hikers with tucked-away rock art and striking canyon scenery. Your guide leads you to places that can be difficult to find on your own, while leaving room to discover the petroglyphs along the way. The tour lasts about four hours and requires moderate fitness; shoes with good tread are recommended. Bring ample water in a reusable container and your favorite hiking snacks.

Meet at the Ledges off-ramp parking lot to arrange a car shuttle, then set out for a memorable Snow Canyon Petroglyphs Hike. Choose your route and explore this rugged corner of the park with a knowledgeable guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in St George
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4.
