Here the southwest cuts to the quick, and the earth knows all the angles. Jutting crags of red sandstone break the eternally blue sky. This is a place to set your foot, fix your eye, and run your fingers through the sand. It's a massage for your senses with a message for your ears.
Every sound is framed by the all-absorbing silence.
As the sun sets and the evening stars begin to glow overhead, one senses unlimited possibilities. From the days of John Wesley Powell's expedition here in 1871, Springdale has been host to a variety of explorers, adventurers, pioneers, entrepreneurs, and artists. Today, nearly three million visitors a year journey to Springdale to experience the cutting edge of Zion. Springdale is the gateway community at the entrance to Zion National Park. From your room or your tent you can see fanciful Eagles Crags, magnificent Canaan Mountain, the noble Watchman, the towering East and West Temples, and haunting Mt. Kinesava.
