Southern Utah can boast of extraordinary natural beauty, comfortable climate, great accommodations, food and friendly people. It is centrally-located near three National Parks – Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon North Rim. Also nearby are Cedar Breaks, Grand Staircase-Escalante and Pipe Spring National Monuments. We have thousands of acres of public lands – BLM and Forest Service – that you can go hike, camp and explore.
In addition, we have a great ‘water feature!’ Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is nearby, which includes Rainbow Bridge National Monument, as well as Lake Powell, the second largest man-made lake in North America, with 1,960 miles of shoreline!
After a long day of fresh air, exercise and sunshine touring the area, who wouldn’t be ready for a delicious meal and some good music and western entertainment? Southern Utah is rapidly becoming a foodie destination and boasts gourmet restaurants, great eating places and night time entertainment.
We are proud of the southern Utah area we call home, and we’re so happy that you’ve come to visit.
