Distance: 1.2 miles round trip

TRAIL SUMMARY

As one of the most popular hikes in St. George, climbing the Sugarloaf as known as Dixie Rock is great for everyone.  Dixie Rock is located within Pioneer Park which is known for explorable rock formations.  With no actual path, hikers tend to traverse over the wildlife protection gate and around the serpent head rock formation.  A short climb up make-shift steps in the rock leads to the bridge that connects to Dixie Rock.  While kids are known to easily maneuver over these rock formations, there are not any safety railings.  Please refer to the pictures below to understand the terrain.  Dixie Rock is accessible 24/7 and provides a fantastic view of St. George both in the day and at night.  The typical parking area is accessed from Red Hills Pkwy, but the lot is small and often crowded.  Red Hills Pkwy is usually busy and drivers need to be cautious when pulling out.  Overall, summiting Dixie Rock is almost a must-do tradition in St. George.  Hikers are asked to pick up after themselves and respect the local wildlife.
