Newspaper Rock on Gila Trail in St. George
Gila hike, named after the Gila monster, pronounced HEE-LA is located on the outskirts of Snow Canyon State Park. We only hiked middle Gila which ended up being 4.46 miles RT. It was a beautiful hike full of sand, rocks, and petrified sand dunes, my favorite! Half was thru the hike we came to Newspaper Rock which is covered in ancient native petroglyphs. It was such a beautiful sacred place to experience. Definitely add it to your southern Utah bucketlist!

Many figures had 6 toes, believed to be their tribes or family.

My Movara hiking group!
And my fave hiking pants. Yall! my life is forever changed. I have slid down so many rocks in these and they look brand new! They are light, comfy, stay put, and are moisture wicking so if you walk through a river, your pants will be dry in no time. I know from experience lol.

No trial head for Middle Gila, We parked on the said of the road and caught the trail mid way.
The trail is well marked
