Located just south of Zion, there are a total of 529 residents in Springdale. Small town, to say the least! The town is made up of towering multi-colored cliffs, which provide unbelievable views from the famous and widely visited Zion Park Blvd. If you are heading to Springdale National Park, here are a few things you must do while in town. 

Float Away on the Virgin River

What can be better than a lazy day on the river with the rocky red mountains as your scenery? Not much, right? That’s exactly what you are in for when you grab a tube and float away on the Virgin River.  Some have even claimed that this could be the best tubing experience they’ve ever had. Enjoy floating, minor maneuvering and plenty of fun whether you’re alone or with someone. 

Downtown Springdale

What’s a good place to visit without a swanky downtown area to enjoy some of the best local food, shopping, culture, and attractions? Downtown Springdale will not disappoint! Take a walk through the shops where you can enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking views. Be sure to grab a bite to eat at one of their famous restaurants as well, such as; MeMe’s Cafe, Whiptail Grill, and Thai Sapa.
