The Babylon Arch Trailhead is located near St. George and offers a moderate 1.5-mile hike through the desert. The trail is sandy but rewarding, leading you to the impressive Babylon Arch, which you can walk under. With stunning views and a refreshing river nearby, this hike is definitely worth the trip for those seeking a bit of adventure and natural beauty.
