Hotels & Lodging

If you can't get a room in Springdale or would like to save some $$$ here are some options with travel times 1 way to Zion/Springdale.

Hurricane - 25 mins, population 10,000. Good grocery stores and small town feel, but is lacking good restaurants.
St George - 50 mins, population of 70,000. Great golf courses. Snow Canyon State Park is an interesting destination, but is hot in the summer months.
Cedar City - 60 mins, population 25,000, Closest town to the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park. Cedar City's Shakespeare festival is the 2nd largets festival in the nation. Runs late June though late October. Cedar City is just 30 mins from Cedar Breaks National Monument which is similar to Bryce Canyon National Park. Cedar Breaks and the National Forest surrounding it are a great place to beat the summer heat. Elevation 9,000-11,000.
Eastside Lodging - 45-115 min. The Ponderosa Pine and Zion Mountain Resort are both nice places to stay, however visitors staying there should know that they are isolated in regards to services and are a good drive away from Zion's Visitor Center/Shuttle Stop. Plan on 2+ hours a day commuting into Springdale. ZMR would be a very nice place to stay overnight on your way to Bryce. Beautiful area.
