We had an amazing experience at The Ark Tiny House! It’s beautifully decorated and has everything you need! The views are breathtaking and it was so nice being able to relax by the campfire or in the hot tub at night.
We hiked through Zion National Park and did some shopping. Most of the trail heads start on Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, you’ll have to ride the shuttle bus to get onto that road and have a park pass too. We did the Narrows hike which was amazing! Make sure to stop at Zion Outfitter to grab your waterproof shoes and hiking stick before getting on the shuttle bus. You can do the hike without waterproof shoes but I would definitely recommend a hiking stick. We did not do Angels Landing but we heard it’s incredible!
We also recommend driving Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. The views are breathtaking and you drive through a tunnel that is more than a mile long and built in the 1930’s! The Canyon Overlook Trail starts just after you exit the tunnel on your left. I left our favorite hikes, places to eat and shopping in Springsdale at the bottom of this review.
We also drove out to Sand Hallow and rented a Polaris Turbo RZR and adventured out onto the trails for a few hours. That was an awesome experience! You were able to do everything — sand dunes, rock climbing, trail riding. We would definitely do that again!
The weather was sunny mid 80’s during the day and dropped to mid 50’s at night. Springdale and Zion National Park we’re busy but it was not overly crowded in town or on the hiking trails.
We also stopped and ate at the Main Street Cafe in Hurricane on our way out. Their breakfast was delicious and the staff were super nice!
