The Petrified Dunes in Snow Canyon State Park are a must-see for hikers of all ages. There's a short trail that leads you up to the Petrified Dunes, which are formed from Navajo sandstone. Once you're up on the rock you're free to wander around and snap some amazing photos. It's one of the most photographed spots in the area, and you'll likely encounter multiple photoshoots if you go at sunset, but it's a great location to get comfortable taking photos in front of other people.
Bathrooms?: There are pit toilets at the trailhead.
Trailhead Parking Difficulty: Easy-ish. There's a large parking lot and I've never had trouble finding a spot, but it is a popular St. George photoshoot location so I could see the parking lot getting crowded.
