King’s Landing Bistro
Springdale’s best dinner. Upscale without being stuffy, with canyon wall views that make every table feel like the best seat in the room.
Zion Human History Museum
Free with park entry and genuinely worth an hour. Eight thousand years of canyon history and the best panoramic windows in Zion.
Zion Canyon Brew Pub
Springdale’s go-to for craft beer and pub food after a long day on the trails. Sit on the patio and watch the canyon go red at dusk.
Oscar’s Cafe
The best breakfast in Springdale and possibly in all of Southern Utah. Go early, order the huevos rancheros and don’t skip the salsa.
Cedar Breaks National Monument
A three-mile-wide amphitheater at 10,000 feet. Fewer crowds than Bryce, jaw-dropping views and wildflowers that bloom all summer.
Bryce Canyon National Park
The hoodoos that put Southern Utah on the map. Walk the rim, drop into the amphitheater and see why nothing else looks like this.
