This is the time to visit if you are an early riser as dawn is the coolest part of the day to enjoy hikes, bikes, even horseback riding which is now available at Snow Canyon State Park.  Quail Creek State Park is becoming a popular place for all to cool off in the water during these hot days, with a no wake zone for paddling on the North end, get there by 6pm to enjoy the sunsetting behind the surrounding mountains. They offer many water recreation rentals to chose from.

Summer is heating up time to cool off in the water, float the Virgin river or rent a paddleboard/kayak at Quail Creek State Park.  Borrow our bikes to ride through Town Square Park or venture farther to Vernon Worthen, June 12th is 80's night concert in the park.  Also George's corner restaurant (a block from the Inn) has live music on Thursdays and Sundays.  Try an early morning hike before breakfast, June 13th  is a guided tour of Toe trail at 8am or try 7am Saturday outdoor yoga at Sand Hollow Resort.

Tuachan shows are booming nightly now.  Try star gazing at Gunlock State Park May 28th or take in the night view from your own private balcony.  Visit with other guests while enjoying the front porch and yard during the mornings and dusk times.  Sunset hikes are great right now along with all bike riding during evening time before dark.  Bike the town and Virgin River trail using the bikes we have available, get a look at the high flowing river and maybe spot a kayaker or two going down it.

What better way to celebrate than to come stay at The Mulberry. The Woolley-Foster Home was built in 1873 and we have been lovingly restoring it since we bought it in 2020. (I know. I was crazy to do so during the pandemic. But, sooo worth it. :)  A lot of restoration has been done through the years. Yet, I want it to be even more true to the period, and be in top notch condition.   The home is full of antiques, many with histories on record.

September and October

Autumn is coming quickly and there is no better time to stay at The Mulberry.  Our huge trees are gorgeous this time of year.  The weather mellows and feels like you are at your Grandma’s lazing on the porches & balconies.  The hiking this time of year is excellent and St. George starts having more festivals and fairs.

    It has been a fun summer here in St George.  We started out with some sweltering days and then it has cooled for our 'monsoon' season. We did a couple out of the way hikes so far and love having fewer people on these. Look at this view of Red Mountain and my mountain man, Scott.  He is the ultimate hiker and knows this area extensively. He is available for any and all 'hiker talk' when you visit.

I am so excited for this time of year.  Flowers are popping up and the trees are budding. The temperatures are in the 60’s and 70’s. It is a great time to be in Utah’s Dixie. They call it that because the early settlers started out growing cotton down here. You won’t find cotton fields, but you will definitely find the local gardens are going in because we have a long growing season down here.  We also have some fun events happening:

Goodbye 2020, Welcome 2021!
