Rock Formation
The Vortex Trailhead leads to a massive, hidden sandstone bowl formation carved into ancient Navajo sandstone just outside of St. George. This unique landscape feature, shaped by millions of years of erosion, offers hikers a swirling, vortex-like experience that remains a relatively unknown gem.
