Zion is located near the town of Springdale, Utah. Here you’ll find several local shops, restaurants, and motels to stay in. One spot you have to try is Oscar’s Cafe. It’s especially good for breakfast. Sit inside or out on the patio in the eclectic atmosphere and enjoy home-cooked comfort food. 

There’s a shuttle that runs through the town to take visitors to and from the park. This is a great option to avoid the hassle of finding parking spots in the park. It’ll take you to the visitor’s center, the lodge, and stop at all of the hiking trailheads.
