Local Economy & Lifestyle

Life in Springdale

Springdale's economy runs almost entirely on tourism tied to Zion National Park, with hotels, restaurants, galleries, and outfitters lining its main street. Housing here is limited and in high demand given the park's proximity.

Springdale is one of the only towns in the country where you can walk straight into a national park — its free shuttle connects directly to the Zion Canyon shuttle system, and its handful of homes offer rare canyon-rim and red-cliff views.
