[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you ready to seek out an adventure? Springdale, Utah is home to many attractions and is the gateway to Zion National Park in Utah. Sitting on the southern border of Zion’s, this small town is a perfect place to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. While hotels in Springdale are luxurious and modern, it is the sites surrounding the area that truly help them stand out!

Visiting Springdale

For a century following its settlement, Springdale was an isolated area due to the nature of Zion National Park and its large canyons. While people found the area attractive, it wasn’t considered an area to work, leaving this remote area unpopulated. The Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and Tunnel changed the landscape in the 1930’s. It allowed workers and tourists to come through this area. Now, the tunnel is one of the many attractions you’ll want to see when visiting Zion National Park. Even though Springdale is now a tourist town, it still holds many of its charming pioneer qualities. Take some time to walk through the town where you can see pioneer architecture throughout. Many of the residents are friendly to tourists and will even allow you to walk through old homesteads on their property. You can learn more about Springdale’s history here.
