Zion · Where to stay

Curio-collection resort right on the Virgin River with lawns running to the water and the park gate a five-minute walk away.

The only lodging inside the canyon. Cabins with gas fireplaces under the cottonwoods — book a year out, genuinely.

Big riverside rooms with actual balconies and a pool that saves you in July. The value pick in Springdale.

Safari tents with wood stoves twenty minutes out, dark skies overhead and no light pollution for miles.

Quiet, low-key, a spa and a labyrinth on the hill behind. Adults tend to end up here.
