Springdale Utah
Athens…Cuzco…Springdale
Explore the awesome little town that hosts Zion National Park travelers.
Every big destination needs a host city - somewhere to get you fed, watered and rested before you set out on your adventure. Cuzco is basecamp for Machu Picchu, the Acropolis sits above Athens and Zion National Park has Springdale.
Sitting on the southern border of Zion, Springdale, population 529, is more than just a parking lot for the park. It rests in the shadow of the towering red, white and pink striped cliffs that define Southern Utah, essentially an incorporated annex of the park proper, giving you incredible views right from the main drag, aptly named Zion Park Blvd. It’s got plenty of entertainment for those of us not quite ready to renounce civilization altogether, and lots of outdoor retailers for those of us who are.
Springdale’s the perfect getaway/gateway: Laid back, all the amenities and incredible access to unforgettable adventure.
