If you had to choose one, which would you recommend?

My legs are shot after hiking Zion (Scout Landing to Spring Cabin campsite 5 and Subway bottom-up).

I’m headed to Bryce Canyon next and probably only have one more hike in me. I could force two if it’s reeeaaally worth it, but that might be asking for a knee injury.

I got some gold and silver from a grandparent who's moved on to a better place.

I know nothing about Gold and Silver.... Anyone have any takes on any of the silver/gold stores.

Just want an honest price to sell, and maybe buy some day.

Heard of these three All good coin Gold ore store Gold and silver exchange (off sunset)

Any takes on the best one?

How do I find the booking report for Kane county ?

Hello everyone! I’m looking for people familiar with the Brian Head area of Utah!

Years ago, my father was a truck driver and every so often he gets around to telling this crazy thrilling story about one of his misadventures that took place in Brian Head.

He was heading down to Flagstaff, Arizona but he can’t remember where he was coming from. He stopped over at some truck stop or gas station or something where he asked for some navigational advice. Mind you, this was before GPS and what not. He was operating with maps and an atlas. A man offers to help him and directs him to some road that is supposed to be a short cut. My dad trusts him and plans out the course.

Well. This road is not supposed to be traversed by semi trucks. He remembers there being a sign just as he turned on to it that mentions a weight limit which he DEFINITELY exceeded.

Anyway. He keeps going and his truck is running hot. He’s taking sharp turns on this narrow road with sheer drop offs on either side. After a while, he comes to another sign.

“Bridge Ahead.” And it lists a weight limit that he, again, exceeds. Well this time he can’t ignore it. He somehow manages to turn his truck around and starts heading down, but this road is steep enough that he describes standing on his breaks and still barely keeping it from letting go (the truck.) He made a bail out plan and everything.

He eventually makes it to this wider area and gets the truck to stop. There are trees around. He decides to pick up this random rock that he can hold in one hand and shove it under the tire of the truck… because that will help. Don’t laugh too much though; the man was scared.

Anyway. He goes to the back, freaking out and trying to figure out where to go, when there’s a knock on the window. This guy dressed in camouflage who came out of nowhere, no cars or anything, asks if he’s okay. He explains that trucks do this all the time and sets my dad on the right course.

My father tells the story more eloquently. It truly keeps you on the edge of your seat. Anyway. The question.

Does anyone who is familiar with the area know what road might have nearly killed my father? The qualifications are that it must be between Brian Head and Flagstaff, there are cliff drop offs, a steep climb, and a bridge with a weight limit that wouldn’t be suitable for a semi truck. I’ve heard this story so many times, and I really want to figure out what road this might have been to tell my father next time I visit.

I’m going to try and plan a backpacking trip in southern Utah sometime next June. Somewhere around 20 give or take a few miles with access to water that I can filter. Does anyone have recommendations for trails I should look at?

Going to be spending a couple of days in Escalante UT next week. I've been there before but never been in the cold months and want recommendations of hikes and particularly slot canyons that are pretty unlikely to have standing water (assuming no rain recently). I usually don't care but I'd rather not go through the water if it is 35deg lol.

According the website Brian Head said it's set to open Nov 8th. I want to bring 2 kids skiing for their 2nd time. So very new and don't expect them to stick with the Green part of the mtn. I can save a significant amount during Thanksgiving vs xmas time. Any thoughts of how conditions are this early in the season?

Backstory, I've been on the road since Oct 10. I've been camping between Cedar City and Kanab (while working full time)

I have the week of November 4th off from work and trying to figure out what to do and where to go as I head back towards home (Ogden).

I don't want to freeze at night and would like to enjoy myself.

I've already camped at the following spots on this trip

- Meadow Hot Springs

- Gooseberry Mesa

- Kanab (hiked buckskin gulch 2 days ago-saturday in a day)

- Toroweep (north rim of the grand canyon) (see below pic)

I was considering Great Basin National park, but I think by next week it might be kinda cold and some roads closed due to snow.

I have my mountain bike with me and my dog. and would love some suggestions of places I might want to adventure to while I start heading home. I know its going to rain a little bit tonight and tomorrow so I don't want go anywhere that might be wet or snowy where I might get stuck if I go off road.

I've also camped around St George a lot over the years and have MTB's a lot in the area, so I'd like to go somewhere other than St George. I would also like to avoid Moab as well because I've also spent a lot of time there.

I’ll be spending 4 nights in Kanab next week, what are some underrated gems or scenic drives to do/see in Southern Utah besides the obvious (Zion/Bryce Canyon)?

Hello, I am formerly an employee from Utah's Hogle Zoo and the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium and now an undergrad student at UVU studying zoology. I've been following on here that the Red Cliffs Reserve and surrounding areas are at risk from urban development. While I'm not originally from Utah, I did conceive the idea of an accredited zoo in St George awhile back. It would take time but is a zoo featuring sections showcasing the three ecoregions that make up Greater Zion, as well as potentially having Australian and African Sections, be economically and maybe financially beneficial to Saint George?

Check out how beautiful it looks at night

Hello!

I’ve just moved to La Verkin with my wife and I’m looking to get a job working in the national or state parks. I have an extensive background in construction (union pipefitter/welder by trade) however I’m looking to switch industries. Anyone in this subreddit that works in the parks that can point me in the right direction, any leads, tips or advice would be extremely appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I just moved to St. George from SLC, and have been a nail tech since 2015. I am STRUGGLING to get nail clients here. I specialize in gel nails, and perform advanced cuticle work. I am curious, what do you look for in a nail tech? What makes you love your nail tech, or what makes you hate them? Trying to figure out what I need to do to get more ladies in my chair 🥰🥰 pic of my work for reference 💅🏻

Hiii! I'm looking for a one of my friend (we are French), she has the possibility to choose a bachelor in international relations in these 2 universities but each one has positive and negative points. Also, are both safe to live? Could you give us your opinion?

Going on a girls trip November 14th-18th in St. George Utah. It’s five girls who like to have fun but also appreciate activities like hiking. any recs on fun things to do, restaurants, etc. would be amazing!

Has anyone heard of the HorrorFest International Film Festival? Are there any Horror fanatics in Southern Utah willing to come hang out?

I need to catch a flight from Harry Reid International Airport Los Vegas, I am currently in Cedar City right now. Guys, what's the best shuttle service that I can take? I live very close to SUU and don't have a car.

I'm looking to move to Southern Utah for the express purpose of spending as much time as possible outdoors in the parks. I'd like to live close to one specifically for day trips while also being somewhat strategically located to be able to hit up all the parks eventually.

There doesn't seem to be much housing in the southeastern part of the state. Southwest has Cedar City and St George. Am I missing anywhere else?

I'm a single 39m with a cat and dog. Having the pets limits my options a bit. I'm a bit worried St George is too family/retirement oriented, am I overblowing that aspect? It's also not exactly centrally located. On the other hand it'd be nice to be in a decent sized place with access to good gyms and grocery stores.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit to add: I hear you all and quite frankly made the OP more NP focused than I meant. I don't care about the label "NP." Just want to be outside exploring all that Southern Utah has to offer. Living close (<5 miles to walking distance preferably) to great outdoors (hiking paths specifically) is paramount and I can easily travel to the rest.

Should have clarified I'm looking to rent initially.

I've gotten more great information than I bargained for! Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I've had my eye on southern Utah as a potential place to live in the future and I'm starting to think about materializing that.

I'm interested in the Cedar City area. I'm coming from northern Nevada, familiar with living and driving in the snow; I've visited the area several times and love all the outdoor recreation options around, like climbing, mtb, skiing.

I'm a healthcare professional and would be seeking work at the Cedar City hospital or nearby clinics (St. George isn't a deal breaker but I'd rather have a shorter commute). Does anyone have any insights on how it is to work at the hospital there or for Intermountain in general? Do people like working there? Is there a lot of turnover? Is it really difficult to get hired there? *I see that pay range for my position is almost the same as it is in northern NV, and cost of living is less at least in terms of home prices, gas, and food.

I'm a mid-30s single woman with no children, and very much have the mindset of "you do you", "live and let live", I don't get in other people's business and I don't like to be told how to live my life- I'm not religious but I have many friends who are, I have friends and family on both sides of the political spectrum, it's not an issue for me if it isn't for you. As a side note, I don't drink alcohol as a personal choice (so lack of nightlife in town is not a problem!). My question is how welcoming would the community be to a person like me? I'd like to be able to make friends and be a part of the community.

TL,DR:

• insights on working for the hospital in Cedar City or just Intermountain in general. Is it easy to get a job the Cedar city hospital? Do people like working there?

• how welcoming and open is the community, for someone with a "You do you- live and let live" mindset who gets along with most people- but also doesn't like to be told how to live?

Thanks everyone!!
