 | Red Mountain Trail (St. George) The Red Mountain Trail is 11 miles north of St. George, opposite the small town of Diamond Valley. This is not a casual-riding trail. It's one of the meanest, roughest little trails in the St. George area -- a brutally rough climb up rock ledges. Only the strong and skilled need apply. Past the ridgeline (2.7 miles), the trail enters the Red Mountain Wilderness Study Area, west of the cliffs above Snow Canyon. Do NOT go beyond the ridge. |
