Oh man!, St George. If not for the geological element from hell called blue clay, and a mis-directed (no insult intended) desire to move to Puna, we'd be there still.
That place is amazing. The native american tribes known as the Fremont and the Anasazi each had territory that bordered the St George area, and their cliff dwellings and rock art and tool makings are everywhere. I was totally into hiking when we were down there and you could not get off the pavement without finding all kinds of history. I took a class at a local jr college and it was fascinating to learn the real deal about them. Did a two week canoe trip on the Green one time down through the Canyonlands and hiked all the side canyons and slept in the cliff dwellings. It was like living a couple hundred years ago. Very, very cool!
But Bull, I think you meant sub-freezing. St George doesn't go sub-zero.
