Owen's Loop
About This Trail
This is an easy trail with great views of St. George and Red Hills Golf Course. Close to town means it’s a popular hike for families to hike, especially on the weekend. In spite of being called a “loop”, this is an out and back. To make it a loop you can link up with City Creek Trails and then travel on the Red Hills Parkway to make it an 8-mile hike. This is also a dog friendly trail, but please consider leashes.
Make sure you pay attention while on trail as the slick rock part of the trail can make it easy to get confused about the return. Lots of fun rocks for kids to climb on.

Shanti Hodges is the Founder of Hike it Baby. Shanti started the organization in Portland, OR in 2013 so she could find friends to hike with. It quickly caught on locally and people started contacting her to help develop hike communities that were baby and toddler focused in other cities. To further support her mission to get families outside, Shanti wrote a book “Hike it Baby: 100 Awesome Outdoor Adventures with Babies and Toddlers.” She is committed to getting local and national parks to be more aware of how they can better support families with babies and newly walking children. Shanti lives in Southern Utah with her husband and son. In her spare time she’s a hike guide and hosts women’s hike retreats.
