- Hotel night: the middle nightly price of the Springdale hotels we check three times a week (see our hotel price index).
- Daily spend: food, local transport and sights per person, from our city guide, by travel style. The hotel isn't in it.

Insider tips
- Personal vehicles are banned in Zion canyon in peak season — the free park shuttle is efficient
- The Narrows (hiking up the Virgin River) requires a permit in spring; fall is permit-free and less crowded
- Book lodging in Springdale 3-6 months ahead for spring/fall — limited rooms in a small town
- Kolob Canyons section of Zion (30 min north) is nearly empty and equally dramatic
