Welcome to Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, one of the top family-friendly adventure resorts in the U.S., located just 3 hours from Las Vegas and a half-day drive from southern California! The beautiful plateau east of Zion National Park is the home of Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort. Up here, where the wind blows the cooler air through the Zion summer, we have a wide variety of lodging, recreation, and dining options. While staying with us, guests can stay in accommodations ranging from a simple tent site to glamping tents, cabin suites, luxury vacation homes and more. Tents can be rented here for a nightly fee, or bring your own and set up camp. We also have RV sites with full hook-ups and are adding more this summer. Our Conestoga wagons offer an Old West experience with modern amenities. Cowboy Cabins are the most basic cabin we offer, with a heated bedroom and room enough for six. Upgrading to the Cabin Suite for four or six provides a kitchenette and a small bathroom. Finally, our vacation homes on the East Zion Ridge provide a range of sizes and amenities. Zion Ponderosa has more on-property recreation than any other resort near Zion. Our guided Jeep tours take guests out to amazing viewpoints and exciting trails. Canyoneering is a unique experience that anyone who wants adventure should look into -- rappel down into slot canyons and work your way through them with our experienced recreation staff. Fuel your adventures at our on-property restaurant, Ray's, or grab a snack or beverage to go from The Narrows coffee bar. Wrap up your day of Zion adventures with a dip in the pool or hot tub.

2 national parks + 1 cozy home base = countless Utah memories! ✨

Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks offer some of the most stunning year round views 🏜️ Zion Ponderosa is located between the two parks, only a 15 minute drive to the east entrance of Zion and 1.5 hours from Bryce Canyon. Between our ideal location and our cozy accommodations, we’re a pretty obvious choice for your southern Utah getaway- if we do say so ourselves 😉

It’s finally the first day of fall! 🍂✨

We’re sharing our best predictions for fall colors in Zion National Park based on previous years. Keep in mind that Zion varies in elevation from about 3,500 to 9,000 feet, which means the color change will vary depending on where you are in the park as well as the current years’ weather conditions 🍁
