Owen's Loop is a 2.7 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Saint George, Utah that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Owen's Loop really isn't a loop until you get to the end and the trail makes a very small loop around and back to the trail you came in on. Owens Loop Trail roughly follows the urban edge of St. Georges northwestern downtown residential area from on top of red sandstone bluffs. From the vantage point of the trail, great views of downtown St. George as well as the surrounding area to the south, all the way to the Hurricane Cliffs, can be seen. An added bonus is the red rock formations that make up the trail; nothing spectacular, but lots of slick rock and rock outcrops. The first part of the trail is well-tread, but pay attention, as the route across the slickrock can be hard to follow.
There is a trail entrance on Red Hills Pkwy but no parking. I find the best way to access this trail is to park at Brook's Nature Park (Lat 37.11588881385 Long -113.58314841985703) just south of the main trail head and hike the small canyon north to the main trail.

February 14, 2021February 5, 2021To be honest, I only went the first half mile (probably the steepest) part of the hike... but it was getting towards sunset and I wanted to make sure I made it back as I wasn’t familiar with the area. Gorgeous views!! I wish I was in the area longer and could have done more. For a CA girl, the red rock and landscape were so beautiful, especially at sunset. Lots of families were finishing their hike and walked by.
January 22, 2021January 19, 2021This is a great family friendly hike. It took us 2 hours round trip starting from Brook’s Nature Park and taking our time to stop and enjoy the views. There is a bit of a climb at first but the rest is gradual rolling hills. It is well marked. It was a nice Sunday activity.
January 18, 2021Great views... lots of red rock to walk through ! (Recorded return trip only :)

November 28, 2020November 28, 2020Awesome trail. We went a little before sunset and had the trail mostly to ourselves. Cool to see various parts of St. George from up there.
November 28, 2020November 24, 2020Very easy trail that gives you a good view of St George

November 2, 2020This is a well maintained trail with great views, but it is a little too close to civilization for my taste. You can hear traffic noise and see buildings at almost any point on the trail. I prefer the more secluded trails of Snow Canyon.
October 31, 2020Beautiful views, good workout! Just keep the map open & you’ll be fine. There are signs along the way as well.
