I'm going on vacation this week. I was thinking of checking out the Mountain Meadows site. How far from St. George is it?
It's only about 30 miles. The road leads up into the pinyons...there isn't a meadow anymore. The place is dry and desolate and a perfect monument to the horror that happened there.
If you have a pick-up or 4X4, try to get down into the little ghost town of Pinto. It's a strange sort of place. There are Victorian 2-story brick homes that have been kept in relative repair, but nothing else is there (the town might house ghosts for all I know.)
