ST. GEORGE — Temperatures are climbing along with increased visitation to Southern Utah state and national parks.
"Our visitation, overnight and day use, has definitely increased at Sand Hollow State Park with the warmer weather," Jason Both, manager of Sand Hollow State Park, told St. George News. "All campgrounds have been full throughout the week and boating is starting to pick up."
Both said he expects visitation to continue to increase at Sand Hollow State Park as the weather continues to warm and the summer tourism season begins. He said the off-highway vehicle use remains popular in the park and Sand Mountain. And a major event is on the horizon.
"The park will host the 2023 Ironman 70.3 North American Championship on Saturday, May 6," Both said. "Athletes from all over the world will be pushing their limits for this triathlon."
