Wonderful thin-crusted Italian pizza, you can’t go wrong. Our personal favorites are the Italian Cowboy and the Margarita pizza. Pizzas are one size and feed 1-2 people per pizza. We recommend calling ahead and giving plenty of time as they usually have a wait. We have them on speed dial (435)327-2503.

We don’t personally drink coffee, but everyone raves about the River Rock Roasting Company. We love the atmosphere, beautiful views, great cinnamon rolls and sandwiches! They also have a drive-thru location on your way to Zion before you head up the mountain. They also offer sack lunches, perfect for a long day of hiking.

Favorite Quick Trails: (Listed Gentle to Intense)
• Emerald Pool Trail, the lower pool is easy and
ends at a beautiful waterfall that you can walk behind and gently get sprayed. Shaded and cool most of the way. 1.3 miles in and out, pretty busy. We enjoy the upper falls a distance of 2.3 miles passing the middle falls and ending at a waterfall with a pool. It’s a great place to sit, eat lunch, and splash in the water.
• Canyon Overlook Trail, this trail is rated Moderate, at 1 mile round trip you will get a breath taking view of Zion National Park from a different angle than the other trails. A quick hike and go prepared for some sandy rock.

Wonderful hidden trail, off the beaten path. Has gained popularity in the last couple years. If your here during a busy season it will be busy. You hike through water and have to climb a couple of difficult spots. The hike ends for most people at a pool with a rock slide.
