A short walk through a manmade tunnel is the highlight of this unique, family-friendly trail located just 20 miles east of Zion National Park. The cave-like tunnel/Belly of the Dragon was originally created as a water culvert under HWY89 but over time drainage from upper canyon water flow has carved the sandstone walls and created a beautiful rippling tunnel prime for exploring. This is such a great adventure with kids so bring the whole family and have some fun!

Grafton Ghost Town
In 1866 due to Indian influence the 28 or so families that were living in Grafton completely abandoned it for two years. Three families remained into the 1920’s. In more recent times scenes from many movies where shot there, the most famous is probably 1968 movie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance. Kid. For a very short time Grafton, instead of Kanab, was the county seat of Kane County. Today Grafton lies in Washington County.

President Young spent each winter in St. George from 1870 until his death in August 1877. The location was ideal for him. The warm weather was good for his health, and it allowed him to interact with the Saints in southern Utah. In 1872, he purchased the home that is now known as the Brigham Young Winter Home. From this place, he oversaw the construction of the temple and prepared for the sacred work that would be done there.
