Green Valley Gap is a climbing area in southern Utah, about 3 miles from Saint George. It sits among a cluster of other outdoor spots, so it works well as a stop on a day spent exploring the area around town. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Saint George show April highs around 75°F and October highs near 79°F, while July averages about 102°F and January lows drop to around 28°F. Several other places are close by. The Zen Trail for mountain biking is less than half a mile away, and Red Bluff Canyon offers a hike about half a mile off. Climbers can head to Turtle Boulder or Toadstool, both roughly 0.8 miles from the gap.
