The Virgin River Gorge is a long canyon that has been carved out by the Virgin River in northwest Arizona.[1]
Located between St. George, Utah and Littlefield, Arizona the canyon has towering cliffs and colorful canyon vistas. Interstate 15 runs through the canyon and crosses the Virgin River several times. The climate of the canyon is typical of the Mojave Desert with hot summers and mild winters. Flora and Fauna are also typical of the Mojave. Due to the winding interstate, the canyon is also noted for its tricky driving conditions. The canyon is popular among outdoor recreationalists such as rock climbers, hikers, and campers. The Virgin River Gorge section of Interstate 15 is one of the most expesnive parts of interstate highway ever constructed.
