Getting Here
Beyond the freeway directions found on the Directions Page, Saint George is within close proximity to two great airports. One would be the Las Vegas International Airport, which is more than likely your best bet. Fares in and out of Las Vegas are usually pretty low, due to the immense travel and tourism that abounds. However, if you do want to fly in closer, there is a smaller commuter airport in Saint George, that is only a short drive from Edens Keep. Although the fares are higher and the airport only flies in commuter and private aircraft. Plans are works for a new airport which will provide access to commercial jets.
If you fly into to Las Vegas, travel to Saint George is available through private limo, or the Saint George Shuttle, both of which the staff at Eden’s Keep would be happy to arrange for you.
