This Place is Unreal

Nestled between the walls of Zion National Park and divided by the nourishing Virgin River, many consider Springdale the most attractive Gateway Community in the National Park System. The historic character of the town and its array of delicious eateries, charming B&B's, nostalgic gift stores, adventure outfitters, and fine hotels make it a destination in and of itself. After traveling through many Parks in the West, visitors often bookmark Springdale and Zion as places to return for a week-long trip.

Springdale is a community of outdoor lovers, retirees, artists, writers, craftsman, and a few hundred dogs. With a human population of 500, Springdale makes its living from the 2.7 million visitors who drive through Utah SR 9, otherwise known as Zion Park Boulevard. The town's history precedes that of the Park, but the two co-exist in one of the true wonders of the Earth.

The Zion Canyon Visitor's Bureau has compiled a complete list of hotels and motels, B&B's, restaurants, and tour providers for your convenience. Please take a moment to tour their pages while planning your trip.
