If you're searching for outdoor excitement, pay a visit to Checkerboard Mesa. No walk around the block, this hike is fantastic for a mid-vacation work out.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when in Mount Carmel. Checkerboard Mesa is a great place to kick off here, but there are many other fine places to enjoy. Angels Landing, Emerald Pools, and Canyon Overlook Trail are not far from the steep landmass and will round out your day nicely.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (692 reviews)

This place is simply amazing. So beautiful. We were met by puppies and their mom. Staff was super friendly. Accommodations were incredibly comfortable and clean. You just have to bring in your own food if you want to stock the kitchen in your cabin which is as expected but given limited stores in the area you need to think ahead a little. The store on site has some items. The on site restaurant was lovely, good food and drink and definitely the way to go for dinner. We did not take any of their excursions because we were only there for one night but there seem to be a bunch of options. The vast property with bison roaming was so striking and the stay was utterly refreshing!

Weeping Rock Trail

Magnificent geological formations are featured throughout this park. Notice the lush foliage hanging from the rocks in this area that is classified as a desert.

This place was one of My Favorites at Zion sky full of clouds a sweet breeze going through the Hidden Canyon is totally worth it, we sat for a while just enjoying the View. You will love it.

Hidden Canyon Trailhead

Enjoy the mountain views and explore Hidden Canyon Trailhead, a lovely green space in Springdale. Amble around the area's riverfront or seek out the hiking trails.
