“unique plants and dino tracks!”
Red Hills Desert Garden is Utah’s first desert conservation garden. The nearly 5-acre garden features 5,000 water-efficient plants, a 1,150-foot stream stocked with native and endangered fish species, a replica slot canyon and prehistoric dinosaur tracks found onsite dating back 200 million years. The project is a collaboration of Washington County Water Conservancy District, City of St. George and Virgin River Program. Thousands have visited the garden since its spring 2015 opening.

Awesome stop with kids!! Even though it got hot, we loved climbing around the red rocks, standing like kings on the tops. The garden itself was also quite beautiful, I wish it could be my backyard. Bonus was the dinosaur tracks in the garden area! Definitely recommend to help break up a long road trip.
I enjoyed stumbling upon this for a morning stroll. Even on a bad foot this place is easily accessible. I can see it being a fun spot to take family. So much to see and smell! (Plants, that is)
I loved it here so pretty. And free!
So beautiful and soooooo worth the stop I enjoyed every minute there and wish I would have known sooner I could have gotten married there
Sweet and easy stop along the route. Great for a moment to wander through immaculate desert landscape and would be ideal for kids--if you tell them to watch for the cactus! Very nice.
