About Us
Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, Zion is an incredibly beautiful national park with plenty of picturesque views. With more than 229 square miles in Zion, there is a lot to explore. Whether you’re biking down the scenic drive, or traversing through the Virgin River into the Narrows, the majesty of the red rock walls will inspire you.
“ZION” translates to place of peace and refuge and with sandstone walls as high as 3,800 feet it really does feel like a sanctuary. The Zion Lodge is tucked into the scenic drive and offers food, lodging, and a gift shop for guests
