Built into a hillside, yurts and small houses comprise the East Zion Resort. It is newly constructed and continuing to develop, with a pool and infrastructure improvements to come.
The yurt we stayed in was perfect for us, it is well outfitted with everything that we needed, despite its small size. We grilled on the deck and roasted marshmallows over the gas fire pit while enjoying the view from above the small town of Orderville.
As a bonus, we booked the Slot Canyoneering tour - it was a highlight of our entire vacation. Micah and the other guides are fantastic. Another family booked the same tour, so the 2 guides managed 2 men, 2 women, and 5 boys and girls ranging in age from 7 to 16.
The location is about an hour from Bryce Canyon, 20 minutes from the east entrance to Zion, and 30 minutes from Kanab.
