ST GEORGE |
| |
ST GEORGE was the winter home of Brigham Young and other early
Mormon leaders, who basked in the comparatively mild climate of "Utah's
Dixie." Set at the foot of a broad, reddish-brown sandstone cliff, it's
a pretty enough town, centering around the fine 1877 LDS Temple at 440
South 300 East, the oldest still in use anywhere. The rest of the town
holds quaint pioneer homes, including Brigham Young's much-restored
adobe house on 200 North First West (daily 9am-dusk; free).
Travelers driving up I-15 can call in at the Utah Visitor Center , just
inside the state line (daily: summer 8am-9pm; winter 8am-5pm; tel
435/673-4542). Virtually all St George's commercial life takes place
along the main drag, St George Boulevard, where the twenty or so motels
include the popular Dixie Palm at no.185 E (tel 435/673-3531; up to
$35). Among various good restaurants in the Ancestor Square development
is the Pizza Factory , 1 W St George Blvd (tel 435/628-1234). The St
George Shuttle bus (tel 435/628-8320) connects with Las Vegas and Salt
Lake City on request.
