Maldives Tour

So, let’s start with the most obvious option first. For many, staying in the park itself makes sense if you’re visiting Zion National Park. Waking up overlooking red-tinged sandstone views just sounds magical, doesn’t it? Staying inside the park is possible, but you must be organized or very flexible. There’s only one hotel option with the park – Zion Lodge. We’ll discuss this hotel more in a second. Still, you must understand that if you want a hotel experience inside Zion National Park, check availability and book in advance. Obviously, with just one hotel option, rooms go fast, especially in peak months like summer.

Springdale is the trusty second-in-command for staying near Zion National Park; most visitors choose this as their base. If you missed the boat and found Zion National Park Lodge to be booked out or just fancy more hotel options, Springdale is your best shout. The town is literally steps away from the south entrance of Zion National Park, meaning you could still walk to any of its main attractions if you really wanted to – just with the added bonus of more hotel choices and better amenities. Springdale is a great location if you want proximity to Zion’s attractions but a more urban experience than you get from in-park lodging. It is where you can stay in Zion National Park for utter convenience.

• pringdale is really convenient
• Springdale has many amenities, including many hotel options and restaurants
• Widely recognized for its beauty and is a genuinely pretty little town and place to stay.

Cast your eyes to the other side of Zion National Park; Mt. Carmel Junction is a short 15-minute drive from the eastern Zion National Park Entrance. Unlike staying in Springdale, you’ll need to drive your way into the park. It isn’t close enough to be within walking distance, but you’ll be driving to Zion National Park on the Mt. Carmel Highway Scenic Drive. The ‘commute’ into the national park is one of the most scenic drives in the region, and it’s still pretty easy access.

• You aren’t within walking distance of the park
• It isn’t suited to anyone wanting many bars and restaurants.
• Similarly, you are limited in terms of hotel options.
• You should book accommodation in advance to avoid it selling out.
