Washington Hollow is an 8-mile out-and-back hike on State Trust Lands North St. George Block in Utah, managed by the State Land Board. The trail rises from a low point of 3,283 feet to a high of 3,892 feet, a total gain of 603 feet, and is rated moderate. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in St. George show October highs around 79°F with lows near 47°F, while July averages around 102°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other hikes lie close by: Mill Creek is 0.7 miles away, Mustang Pass is 1.3 miles away, and Elephant Arch is 1.4 miles away. Red Cliffs Campground, about 6.6 miles off, is the closest place to camp.
