Your Second Day in St. George is Full of Engaging Destinations

Farmstead is a world-class bakery by a team that previously worked at Las Vegas restaurants on the Strip. The European-inspired patisserie serves croissants, fruit tarts, cinnamon rolls and other baked goods with a gourmet touch. The doughnuts are colorfully decorated and taste even better than they look. Try a pizza, salad, or The George (a melted breakfast sandwich) if you prefer something more savory.
Lines get long, especially on weekends. You can always place an order in advance for pickup. Farmstead is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

After a visit to Farmstead, continue to explore the downtown area on foot, which is especially engaging during the quieter morning hours. Town Square Park has shaded tables (to enjoy your bakery items if you took them to go) and art installations to admire. Children will enjoy the vintage carousel, splash pads and waterfalls among the rock formations. The entire park is outfitted with free Wi-Fi. Bring a blanket, stretch out on the grass and enjoy the sunshine.

While walking back to the hotel, you'll come across Thomas Judd's Store, the oldest operating business in St. George. Old Judd's (as it's also known) dates back to 1911, when it opened as a general store – and the exterior doesn't look much different today.
The business is now a candy shop that specializes in nostalgia. Pick up a few treats to enjoy in the car later. The store also sells ice cream and soda. A vintage gas pump sits out front, but isn't in operation.

Head back to the Advenire, pack up and check out. Time to hit the road for more adventures in St. George.

The main road through Snow Canyon State Park is one of the most beautiful scenic drives in Southwest Utah. Begin at the north entrance, pay the park free and head south, bypassing bright red sandstone rock formations along the way.
Pull over at signs for trailheads and canyons while exploring the area. You'll see petrified sand dunes, canyons, cliffs and lava from dormant volcanoes formed into rock. Parking and restrooms are easy to spot.

You don't have to be an experienced hiker to enjoy the scenery of Snow Canyon. Pull over at Upper Galoot, an easy walk among solid bright red lava-rock steps with sweeping views at the top. Picnic tables and grills are near the parking area.

The Kayenta Art Village is a quiet, isolated oasis in the middle of the desert northwest of St. George. The community is a small enclave of art galleries and businesses with a stage for live entertainment and a walkable stone labyrinth for meditation.
Grab lunch at Xetava Gardens Cafe, a cozy restaurant with handcrafted wood decor and an outdoor patio. The menu offers sandwiches, wraps and salads prepared with fresh, carefully sourced ingredients. Just want a drink? Choose a latte from the espresso bar.
Xetava Gardens Cafe is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Circle back from Kayenta to St. Geroge with a drive through Santa Clara, a quiet residential community with timeless charm. Pull over at the Jacob Hamblin Home, where the architecture and furnishings are preserved and restored to resemble life in the 1860s.
The free tour lasts about 30 minutes. Visitors are guided from room to room while learning about the life of Hamblin, a diplomat who fostered Mormon relations with local Native American tribes.
The home, effectively operating as a museum, is welcoming of guests who stop by, but it's always a good idea to call ahead to confirm a tour.

Paying a visit to Frei's Fruit Market is a local tradition, dating back to 1956 when the business was a modest roadside stand. Since then, it's grown to a larger space but continues to sell fresh seasonal produce grown on the market's own Utah farm. Stop by, say hello and pick up some fruits and vegetables to take back to Las Vegas. A refrigerated section sells house-made jams and salsas.

At first glance, Yardley's Steakburgers looks like just another fast-food counter inside a travel stop, but it actually has some of the best burgers you'll ever try. The business uses its own grass-fed, grass-finished beef from a local cattle ranch dating back to 1856.
The menu is simple, letting the ingredients do the talking. Order a single, double or triple with regular fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings or cheese curds on the side. Yardley's is also known for its frozen custard creations. Enjoy an order in the dining room or to-go if you'd rather eat in the car while driving back to Las Vegas.
