Where to stay near Zion: Hurricane, Utah
Hurricane is the middle ground for a Zion trip. It's about 40 minutes from the park's south entrance, closer to Sand Hollow and St. George than the towns at the park gate, and it has more room for families and groups.
Our two homes here share one property under the red mesas: Angell Heights, a new single-level four-bedroom house that sleeps 10, and Hurricane Oasis, an A-frame cottage that sleeps 6. Between them sit a 20×40-foot pool, a hot tub and a covered pergola.

| St. George | About an hour to Zion | The most restaurants and shopping; longest drive to the park |
