CEDAR CITY
POPULATION: 28,867
FESTIVAL CITY, USA Cedar City is a surprising cool mountain town that just happens to have world class cultural attractions in astonishing proximity to southwest Utah’s famous Mighty Five© National Parks. At the end of the day, Cedar City is also known as “Festival City, USA” with a plethora of events taking place year-round from free music festivals, to downtown parades, touring bike races, and there’s even a sheep parade! Though free from crushing traffic and frantic city pacing, Cedar City doesn’t skip on amenities. Historic Downtown is quaint with local shops and an impressive menu of “urban-esque” cuisine and southern Utah’s only winery. Southern Utah University keeps things interesting with Division I athletics, guest lectures and concerts AND they just happen to be the “Most Outdoorsy University” in the nation. Paved trails weave the perimeter of town connecting you to the great outdoors and miles of recreational paths for mountain biking, hiking and OHV riding.

PAROWAN
Iron County Fair - Mike Saemisch
ELEVATION: 6,000 FEET.
PAROWAN
POPULATION: 2,790
THE MOTHER TOWN Parowan’s “Mother Town” nickname comes from being the original southern Utah settlement that spurred the colonization of the west, including places like Cedar City, St George and Las Vegas. Every corner of Parowan has a story to tell from their preserved pioneer homes, to their Heritage Park, Old Rock Church and Meeks Pond. As you explore Parowan you’ll observe that folks hold tight to their roots of faith, family and love of country, celebrating them whenever the occasion presents itself- like when all the kids from elementary to high school age perform pioneer dances at the town birthday party or when descendant families come home for the annual Iron County Fair. Cradling you with a hometown sense of pride, Parowan is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting with her beautiful tree lined streets, an old fashioned Main Street and a noticeable lack of traffic lights (no need). Simply put, Parowan is a sweet piece of Americana.

UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
TONY AWARD: 2000
As you walk the tree lined courtyard of the Utah Shakespeare Festival lively music beckons you like a pied piper. Taking your seat in the grand Engelstad outdoor theater, the spotlight rises and Elizabethan costumed actors take to the stage. You’ve entered a time warp and a magical evening under the stars is about to begin. 12

UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
Eight plays are presented in repertory each season in three theaters: the outdoor Engelstad Theatre, which is a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the indoor Randall L. Jones Theatre, a stunning modern facility featuring contemporary works, and the indoor Anes Studio Theatre, an intimate 200 seat performance space.
LOCAL FAVE
For some, Shakespeare may be a little overwhelming. Prepare by attending the play orientation just prior to the play’s performance where informative talks are conducted by theatre experts. The Festival also offers free seminars each morning where you can ask the experts, meet actors & directors, share your thoughts and opinions as well as get a close up look at props and costumes that come to life on stage. Backstage Tours allow you to step behind the scenes and visit various production areas and see how all the magic comes together.
An evening at the Utah Shakespeare Festival is not complete without splurging on a few of their freshly baked tarts!
One of the most magical (and difficult) aspect of repertory theatre is the twice-a-day scene change. Lighting, scenery, props, costume, and sound technicians must hurry to change everything from the matinee show to the evening show. It is a fascinating and well-choreographed process. Through Repertory Magic, you can witness the scene change, and ask questions as it is happening!
LOCATION: The Utah Shakespeare Festival is part of the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Center for the Arts on the campus of Southern Utah University, 300 W University Blvd in Cedar City. SEASON: The festival season generally runs from late June through mid-October. TICKETS: Ticket prices depend upon the season and the seating section.

HIKING TRAILS
Kanarraville Falls - Alex Santiago
HIKING TRAILS KANARRAVILLE FALLS Kanarraville Falls, as the name implies, is a
waterfall hike with the bonus of a slot canyon. The hike is about 2.5 miles, mainly through water so you will get your feet wet, but that’s part of fun! There are two waterfalls; some might call them “obstacles” but we call them awesome. Hikers must scale the ten foot tall “ladder” on the first waterfall in order to continue through the slot canyon. Beyond the first waterfall is a natural water slide and flat rocks that make a perfect snack spot. A bit further up the trail is deeper water and narrowing slot section to the second waterfall. At this point, the trail continues a bit then becomes impassable without specialized gear so this is a good place to turnaround. Trailhead is located in the town of Kanarraville (south of Cedar City along Old Hwy-91). At 100 North turn east toward the water tank, park in the designated parking lot and pay the $10 parking fee. Be mindful of flash flood dangers, consult the weather before you go and use your noggin. Also, leave pets at home and pack out all garbage-the creek is the water supply for Kanarraville town.

Nordic skiing and snowshoeing allow you to view the amphitheater in a whole new way and the ski-set trails inside the park are interconnected with groomed ski tracks at nearby Ruby’s Inn Nordic Center.

Frontier Homestead State Park - Asher Swan
HISTORIC / DISCOVERY CEDAR CITY
FRONTIER HOMESTEAD STATE PARK MUSEUM Imagine for a moment you’re a stagecoach driver steering his team across the Old Spanish Trail, a pioneer woman crossing the plains in a covered wagon, or a steam shovel operator digging ore in an iron mine. Rather than imagine, why not experience all of this at Cedar City’s own Frontier Homestead State Park Museum, where interactive displays and exhibits bring the early history of Cedar City and southern Utah to life. You’re greeted at the museum entrance by a 250,000 pound steam shovel used in the early days of the iron mines. Climb into this behemoth, as well as the Union Pacific caboose next to the shovel, for the perfect picture taking opportunity. Inside the museum is a world of preserved stage coaches and wagons. Also, peruse the special art and history exhibits that change on a quarterly basis. The back of the museum is the "Homestead", with several preserved historic structures representing life of an early pioneer settlement. Here you can explore the Hunter House, Deseret School House, Sawmill, Blast Furnace, Sheep Shearing Shed and the Palisade. Each has a self-guided activity station for making rope, panning for gold, load a wagon, and write your name in the Deseret (Mormon) alphabet.

Parowan Gap Petroglyphs-Alex Santiago
HISTORIC / DISCOVERY PAROWAN
PAROWAN GAP PETROGLYPHS Wind, water and sand carved out this natural passageway that was once used as a major thoroughfare by ancient people. The different cultures are evident by the hundreds of petroglyphs carved into Parowan Gap including geometric designs, lizards, snakes, mountain sheep, bear claws and human figures. With over 90 panels and 1,500 figures, the Gap is believed to be one of the most concentrated collections of petroglyphs in the West - and one of the most accessible (just a few miles off the Interstate). Researchers have identified what they believe to be solar and lunar calendars, plus hunting and cultural glyphs which provided early civilizations with a calendaring system where various solar time events are marked by shadows cast by the natural rock formations. The Bureau of Land Management recently completed a project to provide long-term preservation of the resources at the site including a visitor trail, public parking, restroom facilities and several interpretive signs. The signs tell the different interpretations and meanings of the rock writings, specifically what they mean to the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. Getting to Parowan Gap: From Cedar City drive 13 miles north on Hwy U-130, then east on Parowan Gap road for 2.5 miles from Parowan Main Street travel west on 400 North for 10.5 miles.

UTAH’S LIQUOR LAWS Utah has recently modernized its liquor laws. Adults of legal age can order and consume beer, wine and hard liquor at bars, pubs, restaurants and a variety of other establishments throughout the state. In the past, a "private club membership" was required to enter bars however, that requirement has been eliminated. • You must be 21 to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages in Utah. Alcoholic beverages (wine, liquor, and beer) are available two ways in Utah: by the drink, or packaged by the bottle. • Mixed drinks and wine may be ordered with food in most restaurants from 11:30am - 1am, and beer may be ordered from 11:30am - 1am. Patrons may be served at their tables or in waiting areas. • Taverns and beer establishments sell beer from 11:30am - 1am. This includes a variety of venues: taverns, lounges, cabarets, nightclubs, cafes, bowling centers, golf courses, etc. Beer may be purchased without ordering food and is sold on draft and in bottles and cans. (Service in a licensed restaurants does require that you order food with your drink.) Beer sales "to go" are also allowed, but not in open containers. • Packaged beer is also available at supermarkets, grocery and convenience stores. The maximum alcohol content is four percent by volume, or 3.2 percent by weight for beer sold in taverns, beer establishments and stores.
Local stores are closed on Sundays, holidays and other designated times. Please call in advance to check time. Cedar City (435)586-1644 580 S Providence Center Dr Parowan (435)477-8802 60 E Center St Brian Head (435)677-2040 508 N Hwy 143
(inside Apple Annie's Country Store)
• Packaged liquor, wine, and heavy beer "to go" are sold at state liquor stores throughout Utah. State liquor stores accept cash, check, and credit cards, and are closed on Sundays and holidays. • Other package agencies are often located in hotels and resorts for customer convenience. Many hotels and resorts offer alcoholic beverages via room service. V I S I T C E D A R C I T Y . C O M 81
