Welcome to Greater Zion

Black Desert Championship: LPGA

The LPGA Tour is coming to Black Desert Resort in Spring 2025. The best female golfers in the world will gather to compete at the freshly minted epicenter of luxury at Black Desert Resort and Golf Course among the rugged beauty of Greater Zion. Golf in St. George is – literally and figuratively – elevated. And soon, these world-class athletes will get to experience all world-class golf and adventure Greater Zion has to offer.

Epson Tour Copper Rock Championship

The Epson Tour returns to Copper Rock Golf Course for the fifth time in May 2025. Past tournaments have been enthralling, attracting multiple rising stars in women’s golf as they compete for the title and the chance to earn their LPGA Tour Card. The Epson Tour is the most established developmental tour in the world, so it’s only fitting that the competitors elevate their game among Greater Zion’s elevated Utah scenery.

2024 LPGA Legends Championship

Formerly known as the LPGA Senior Championship, the freshly rebranded LPGA Legends Championship makes an unprecedented return to Copper Rock Golf Course in May 2025. Last year marked the first time the Legends Tour ever visited Utah and the warm, dry desert brought out the players’ best scores among the elevated scenery. The seasoned professionals will bring a competitive energy that echoes off the walls of the Hurricane cliffs as they make their return.

Gunlock State Park

Gunlock State Park lies 15 miles from the hustle and bustle of the St. George area. Gunlock Reservoir is a remote 266-acre lake with sparkling blue waters surrounded by red and white sandstone hills. Water enthusiasts flock to its warm waters for boating, fishing, waterskiing, sailing, sailboarding, and swimming.

Quail Creek State Park

Equal parts refreshing and beautiful, clear, green water dominates Quail Creek State Park. Red, white, and orange cliffs surround the shore, and are set against the powerful Pine Valley Mountains as a backdrop. Greater Zion offers a long season for playing on or in the water with high temperatures in the 80s or above from May to October.

Snow Canyon State Park

Welcome to Zion National Park’s little sibling Snow Canyon State Park. Snow Canyon is criminally underrated and overlooked because of its proximity to Zion (about an hour), but deserves its own spotlight.  Towering sandstone cliffs, rolling petrified sandstone dunes, and ancient lava rock beds — plus less foot traffic than its famous national park neighbor — feel like another planet. Snow Canyon State Park is home to world-class climbing, well-maintained campgrounds, miles of hiking trails, petroglyphs, and a world-famous IRONMAN cycling route.

Sand Hollow State Park

There are several water oases in the middle of the Greater Zion desert and Sand Hollow State Park is one of those crowning jewels. Whether it’s summer or our mild winters, this 20,000-acre park offers emerald-green water, relaxing sandy beaches, an extensive OHV trail system, sand dunes, and red-rock cliffs. Sand Hollow adventurers camp, boat, fish, jet ski, paddleboard, ATV, kayak, snorkel and cliff jump.
