Where in the World is New Harmony?

New Harmony, just off exits 40 and 42 of I-15, lies in a beautiful valley 33 miles north of St George and 18 miles south of Cedar City, home of the Tony Award winning Shakespeare Festival.  This beautiful valley is nestled at the base of the Pine Valley Mountains, the Harmony Mountains and the gorgeous soaring red rock cliffs of the Kolob Canyons.     

The Kolob Canyons are a separate part of Zion National Park and feature moderate to difficult hikes, including a 14 mile roundtrip hike to Kolob arch.   The main part of Zion NP can be reached in less than an hour by car.          

Within an hour drive of New Harmony, one can take in the gorgeous views of Cedar Breaks National Monument at 10400 ft elevation and the surrounding alpine meadows of Dixie National Forest crisscrossed with many hiking and mountain biking trails.  In an additional hour, Bryce Canyon National Park can be viewed with all its fascinating rock formations.  Weather permitting, the nearby Kolob Terrace offers slot canyon access (with permits) and Snow Canyon within an hour, is known for its short scenic hikes.      

In close proximity are several reservoirs, known for successful fishing such as Panguitch Lake, Yankee Meadow, Kolob Reservoir, Sand Hollow and Quail Lake.  Brian Head Ski Area and Yankee Meadow Reservoir and the nearby Harmony Mountains have many first class mountain biking and ATV trails.  Few places in our beautiful country have such quick access to so many hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking  and ATV trails. 

The closest city to New Harmony is Cedar City which is home to the world-renowned Utah Shakespearean Festival (starting the end of June), the Utah Summer Games and the American Folk Ballet; Cedar City is truly a "Festival City." These events and dozens more like them throughout the year offer a metropolitan lifestyle in this small town setting. Accommodations and many restaurants are available in nearby Cedar City:
