Family cragging around St. George

Any recommendations for good crags for family climbing around the St. George area. Temps look warm next week, so shade presumably.

Kids are solid climbers (age 8 & 11), so just looking for a fun high density area with 5.7-5.10 routes.

Thanks

For 5.7 to 5.10 I'd suggest Black Rocks and Green Valley Gap, Unfortunately, neither of these areas are particularly shady though some of the routes at the Green Valley Gap do go into the shade in the afternoon (it seems like Black Rocks also goes into the shade late afternoon or evening). Other options that would be good for AM shade would be Snow Canyon State Park, mainly the Island in the Sky area, or The Prophecy Wall. Good luck and have a fun time on your trip!
