The Utah Parks Company maintains in Zion National Park, in a beautiful
court beside the Mukuntuweap River at the foot of Red Arch Mountain and
near the Great White Throne, one of the finest viewpoints in the Canyon,
a handsome rustic Lodge Center and forty-six double guest lodges,
accommodating 184 persons.
The Lodge Center is a two-story structure of native pine, with
foundations and columns of rubble masonry. There is a broad verandah, a
spacious lobby and lounging room, with a huge fireplace of rough stone,
Navajo rugs, a radio set, retiring rooms and shower baths for men and
women on the main floor. The attractive and commodious dining room,
accommodating 100 guests, also with a fireplace, is on the second floor.
Each room in the cosy double lodges of native pine and fir is separate
and private, although two may be used en suite by family parties. The
rooms contain two single beds or one double bed, a stove, dressing
table, chairs, rugs, and are lighted by two double windows. All of the
furnishings are new and thoroughly comfortable and the service is
thoughtful and courteous. The evening camp fire is a pleasing feature.
Zion Lodge is a delightful place to linger.
