ST. GEORGE — Southern Utahns chasing waterfalls this spring are in luck as Gunlock State Park's "unpredictable" falls are flowing.

Sydnee Imlay and Melody Lyman followed a red rock desert trail to Gunlock Falls. While the water doesn't flow every year, the area comes to life when they do, offering a unique experience for tourists and locals alike.

"This is one of my favorite places ever," Lyman said as the duo readied themselves for the short hike from the trailhead parking lot to the falls.

Gunlock State Park was established in 1970 and is comprised of nearly 250 acres. The park is near the town of Gunlock and about a half-hour from St. George or an hour and 15 minutes from Cedar City. It is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and visitors will pay a fee to enter.
