Springdale locals are blessed with the compliments of their backyard daily. Which isn’t surprising, considering that they’re backyard is only one of the most famous and stunning National Parks ever! Springdale is known as “The Gateway To Zion”, due to the fact that Zion National park is a mere 1.1 mile, 4 minute drive away. Many visitors to Zion start in Springdale and take the free shuttle to the park and make short stops to explore the small town and shop along the way before or after hiking.

Springdale has become a huge tourist destination and hangout for outsiders who are there for Zion’s extreme adventures. It’s easy to see why.. This spunky, colorful and fun little town is filled with fun shopping centers, restaurants, bars/pubs and so much more. There always seems to be something going on whether it be a small town event, concert or something else, there really is always something going on.
