Washington County, Utah is located in the southwest corner of Utah and is known for warm winters and red rock scenery. It is home to Snow Canyon State Park, Tuacahn Amphitheater, and Zion National Park. It is also known as Utah's Dixie. The population of Washington County has nearly doubled each of the last three decades and now has more than 140,000 residents. Washington County is an athlete's paradise. Due to warm winter weather, you can catch a glimpse of runners, bikers, and other physically active individuals all year long. With miles of trails and bike paths, Washington County will host the Iron Man on May 1, 2010 for the first time. Healthy Dixie is a local community coalition established to promote health and wellness in the county. We work with local businesses, municipalities, healthcare, recreation departments, local clubs, and the school district. Some of our work has included smoke-free outdoor public places policies, a Family Fitness Fun Fair, and supporting the development of community gardens.
