. . . because he is kind enough to read my blog regularly.
Jake wrote to ask if I could recommend some St. George awesomeness. (Emma? Are you reading this? I need your help!) He'd like to know what to see and do (and eat) in St. George because he'll be spending some time there soon, and since I go there often, he figured I would know.
But here's the problem. When I go to St. George, I don't do anything but eat wings and watch whatever game happens to be in season on TV. I also sit in a hot tub. Occasionally I'll go get a hamburger at In-n-Out and rhubarb pie at Croshaw's, but that's about it. In other words, I slip into a mild coma when I do St. George.
So I need your recommendations here, people. Restaurants! Hikes! Activities! Help my friend Jake, okay?

Hiking in Snow Canyon.
Mild coma sounds so perfect.
AThe Hunan restaurant in Pioneer square is good. We usually end up at 5 Guys instead of In-N-Out.
I love the slot canyon hike along quail creek reservoir. Just have him look up Red Cliffs Recreation area. It's about 15 minutes north of St. George on I-15. I agree with radagast, too: hike Snow Canyon.
If he wants to eat at a delicious and very fancy restaurant, The Painted Pony is amazing. Other than that, I don't really consider St. George as a destination for food.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
Ok. Ready?
Food: Hit up Judd's store - known for their breadsticks and White Chili. Also, it's a fun candy store....OSCAR's - Hands down, best place to eat at the mouth of Zion, everything is fresh and tastes great, plus the views are to die for!...Basila's - greek food, very eclectic place to eat, I recommend the Chicken Kabobs, with carrot raisin rice.
Places:
Zion - no brainer.
Snow Canyon - gorgeous drive, or hike.
Gunlock Reservoir - the Falls will surprise you
Red Rock film Festival - Nov.8-17 in Springdale and S.G.
Pioneer Park - slot canyons and trails.
Those are our favorites.
Hope it's not too late:
Benja's if you like Thai food is awesome. They have a couple locations.
25 on Main has awesome coconut cupcakes on Fridays.
We always hit the See's Candy at the mall for a chocolate fix.
If Jake has a lady friend who likes to shop:
The Ace Hardware on the Blvd. is the best place to get a drink on tap and free popcorn while you shop for stuff like a power drill, gun, a hip new outfit (truly), fabric, or a Bosch mixer. :) Seriously though, that place is a shopping treasure.
TJMaxx is also awesome there. They get their shipments from CA and NV and often have stuff you can't find in UT TJMaxx stores.
There's a fun consignment store on the Blvd. called Urban Renewal.
