Zion National Park and its towering sandstone walls lie less than twenty miles east, with the trails of the main canyon and the quieter Kolob section both within reach. The hotel sits handily on the way to Cedar City and Kanab, while the Red Cliffs Conservation Area, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and the Brian Head ski slopes spread more high country nearby, and Bryce Canyon makes a popular day trip.
Clean, spacious rooms give travelers a quiet place to land after a day on the trails, and banquet and meeting space handles groups and weddings. A short hop from Hurricane and St. George, the spot keeps the region's parks within easy reach. Canyon country in every direction, La Verkin opens the door to red-rock Utah.
