Mustang Pass Trail is a short hike on the State Trust Lands North St. George Block, managed by the Utah State Land Board just north of St. George. Rated easy, it runs about 1.2 miles one way and climbs roughly 224 feet on the way out. The route is an out-and-back of about 2.4 miles round trip, ranging from around 3,130 feet at its low point to just under 3,400 feet at the top. With only a couple hundred feet of climbing to the turnaround, the gain is modest. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the St George weather station, about 5.5 miles away and roughly 540 feet lower, show April highs near 75°F with lows in the mid-40s and October highs around 79°F, while midsummer highs top 100°F. Temperatures on the trail run slightly cooler than the station. Ice House Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Mustang Pass and Bone Wash are both within a mile. For an overnight stay, Red Cliffs Campground is about 8 miles away.
