St. George is one of "12 great places you've never heard of," according to the August/September issue of Mother Earth News magazine.
Mild winters, skiing, mountain biking and an abundance of golf courses amid southern Utah's red-rock scenery were cited among the features that make St. George a great place to live.
The magazine also credited environmentalists in St. George for efforts to preserve the natural landscapes of the area.
