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.
I enjoyed this hike. It is really exposed so it’s hot...make sure you bring lots of water.
Great morning hike. Beautiful views & close to home
We loved it!
Nice hike for a view of the city below. Only saw 3 other people on the entire trail. Perhaps it was because we went at the hottest part of the day. (Not the smartest idea.) Easy hike along the rim.
Went for my morning run before sunrise. Did the first part with the headlamp. Nice overlook on the sleeping city.Easy trail. I did park at pioneer hills headtrail, crossed the road and joined this trail at the middle, did the loop and came back to the trail start, then came back to the parking along the red hills pkwy and run on the other side on pioneer hill trail, which is a dirt road with very nice views too. Could not run the whole trail and got lost once or twice. But google map helped me find my way back
This was a great trail for my dog. Only passed one group of hikers and the temperature was perfect at 8am. The beauty exceeded my expectations.
Absolutely loved this trail. Gorgeous views of the St George area. Would definitely recommend this to others.
Fun trail. Great hike for a family or date.
Ran this in the dark under a full moon. Fairly easy to navigate, with several signs along the way. Pretty views of the city, terrain not too bad. Still managed to get lost once.
This trail is mostly sandstone rock but smooth and safe. Horses are permitted and the views are a treasure.
Great hiking trail but not a great bike ride. There are portions of it that you will need to carry the bike at the beginning. It you don't want to hit those sections you can access the trail a little further north where it hits the City Creek trail but bring lots of extra tubes, there are lots of goat head stickers on that section.
Starting at park adds a nice touch to this really nice trail.
Very exposed and at times it was hard to find the trail since you are walking on top of boulders and such. It was so awesome though. I would totally do this one again.
I loved it! This trail is really good for a run and along the way you will see great views and plenty of wildlife.
Great hike to look over St George. Do early to avoid the heat.
We hiked at sunset.. we took the road down to the trail head which didn't have a parking lot ... we noticed city creek trailhead on our way down.. we took it on the way back to make our hike slightly longer. It was fun except for 29mph wind blowing. Only a few boys out hiking tonight.
Nice stroll, great view of the golf course
Short trail along the cliffs to the north of Saint George, UT that overlooks the town and also looks off at the mid-point, toward Ivins and Santa Clara, UT. Enjoyed the hike and met several families with young children. The trail is not technically difficult (class 2) and is mostly sand and rock.
loved this hike! I brought my 13 year old boy with me too, he usually doesn't like hiking. but he loved this one! walking along the ridge as you go and seeing the pretty views of the city were the fav's.
Fun hike close to town with beautiful views of the city and surrounding area. Well worth the time and effort ... give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
Good little hike with great views.
Great views of the city. As some others have said, the trail is a little hard to follow in some spots.
Such a pretty little hike and such beautiful views of St George at the end of the hike!
Very nice and kid friendly.
Great views of St. George. Well marked trail. Parking area across the road from trail head.
Great views, hard to follow the trail at some points.
A pretty "rustic" trail. Definitely take a phone/map as I found myself losing the trail at times. I'd rate it a little tougher than easy due to some rough areas. Felt like I was on the cover of trail runner magazine at times.
Great simple hike. Best trail for a night hike.
Easy hike. loved liking at the golf course and enjoying the views of the city
easy hike with excellent view of the city!
