About East Zion
East Zion
Discover the “Hidden Treasures” on the east side of Zion National Park. The road less travelled makes for an ideal escape from the crowds, and sets the scene for an enjoyable vacation. Choose from bed & breakfasts, cabins, hotels, resorts, ranches, campgrounds, RV parks, dining establishments and one-of-a-kind shopping. Many of Zion’s natural wonders are a secret that can only be experienced from the east side. Let East Zion business owners amaze and enlighten you with scenic horseback rides, guided tours of mystic slot canyons, an intriguing 9-hole “mile high” golf course, and miles of ATV trails and backcountry roads. Keep an eye out for the herd of buffalo along the eastern highway just outside the park.
From the east gate of Zion National Park, it’s an easy drive to other scenic at-tractions of southern Utah. From the highway junction, Bryce Canyon’s hoo-doos are less than 60 miles away, and Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is 11 miles to the south. In less than 100 miles, you can reach the North Rim of the Grand Canyon or Lake Powell, and the western entrance to Grand Stair-case-Escalante National Monument is only a six mile drive north, accessed from the quaint town of Glendale in Kane County’s Long Valley.
After a long day of exploring, treat yourself to a meal at one of East Zion’s excellent restaurants along with a relaxing soak in a hot tub and a personalized therapeutic massage. Take a walk after dark and enjoy the star show in our night skies.
The road and entrance from the east side of Zion National Park are open 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. In addition to an endless supply of spectacular natural beauty, the East Zion area is a restful and rejuvenating haven for any visitor to this incredible scenic wonderland.H
