Comfort Suites St. George is an ideal lodging option when touring Zion
National Park. The 229-square-mile park preserves many spectacular rock
formations, forested plateaus and deep chasms. Utah's oldest national
park, Zion was first established as a national monument in 1908 and
received national park status in 1919. It is also Utah's most-visited
national park, hosting an average of 2.5 million visitors every year.
Zion's cliff and canyon landscape includes numerous colorful, towering
sandstone monoliths, many named by Mormon pioneers. Some of the most
notable of theses formations are The Great White Throne, Court of the
Patriarchs, Angels Landing, and The Watchman. Kolob Arch, located in the
park's northwest corner. is one of the largest natural arches in the
world. In addition to its spectacular natural formations, Zion is also a
haven for diverse flora and fauna. It features over 900 species of plant
life and is home to animals such as mule deer, mountain lions, wild
turkeys, rattlesnakes, chipmunks and ringtails.
While Zion National Park is southern Utah's cornerstone attraction, it
is not the only natural wonder visitors will want to see during their
vacation. Comfort Suites St. George can serve as your lodging
headquarters for excursions to the region's other scenic and historic
attractions. Red Cliffs Recreation Area, a spectacular red sandstone
canyon, and Silver Reef, the remnants of a mining boomtown from the late
19th century, lie only 20 minutes from your hotel room at Comfort
Suites. Also nearby are Quail Creek and Sand Hollow reservoirs, popular
locations for boating, waterskiing and fishing. Historic pioneer
buildings, such as the St. George Temple, Brigham Young's Winter Home
and the Jacob Hamblin Home, are also only a short drive away.
After a day filled with sightseeing at Zion National Park and its
environs, return to Comfort Suites to take a dip in the pool, relax in
the hot tub, or take in a movie on HBO or one of the other cable
channels available in every room. For a bite to eat, you will only have
to travel a few blocks to dine at great restaurants such as the Cracker
Barrel, Tony Roma's, and Claim Jumper. A family fun center and movie
theater are also within walking distance of your suite. Within 45
minutes of Zion and many other attractions, Comfort Suites should be
your lodging choice when visiting southern Utah. We will help make your
vacation convenient and enjoyable.
