Rappelling Pine Creek

Often the hikes of Zion get all the attention, primarily due to their ease of access, you don’t need any real special skills or equipment to go hiking. But there are some amazing canyons in Zion that are accessed only by rappelling, and one of our favorite is Pine Creek. In comparison this is a fairly easy canyon, but it …

How to Protect Yourself from a Storm in Zion

There is nothing better than going for a camping or hiking outside with a blue sky and the sun shining very brightly at you, especially in a place like Zion National Park. However, in some instances, the weather may sometimes be unpleasant and force us to change our schedule or hiking location. Or worse, the weather may change into a …

The Subway in Zion

The Subway hike in Zion National Park is one of our favorite hikes (we may say that a lot, but we really really like this one too). It is not for those unprepared (you need a permit too) as it is a quite grueling hike. The beauty offered is very close next to none. From the descent, to the slot …

Biking in Zion

I had the chance to go mountain biking in Zion National Park the other day and didn’t realize how much fun I was in for. I began my journey just outside of the park in Springdale where they have a new bike lane on the side of the road. I rode past many of the restaurants and bed and breakfasts …

New Life on the Farm

With springtime comes the new batch of chickens. We have quite the assortment we are raising this year. We have Rhode Island reds to Polish hens. Hopefully we can keep the raccoons out this year. We will be picking up new ducklings this year to replace the old ducks that retired last year. We hope you will stop by and …

Everyone is invited to come join in the fun. Make sure you BYOB (that means bring your own basket). Oh and don’t forget the camera! You’ll want to take …

Wonderful time to visit Zion National Park

I don’t know what it is about July.  As business owners we all talk and it isn’t just here in Springdale.  Seems July is a slow month for visitation to the national parks.  I guess that is a good thing for a visitor because you have all the amenities of a busy season without the crowd of people.  Some say …
