Night skies over southern Utah

Night skies over Zion National Park. Some of America's brightest views of the stars! Click for larger view.

This image provides another strong reason why you’ll love to visit Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.  John from Palo Alto, California sent this image to us a couple of days ago and you can see that Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, and Zion National Park, are far away from light pollution.  This makes star-gazing fantastic and our guests have the privilege of seeing the milky way about as clearly as you will anywhere in the mainland United States.  Click on these images for a larger view.

Campfire gathering at Zion

Visitors enjoy the warmth of a group campfire and the brilliant stars overhead.

Clear night skies, a warm fire, and the soft lights from inside your cabin.  It’s all part of the magic of Zion Ponderosa at 6,500 feet elevation in the ponderosa pines on the plateau above Zion National Park.

Each guest in one of our beautiful mountain homes has open access to all of Zion Ponderosa’s amenities: recreation activities, two-tiered pool, volleyball and basketball courts, evening activities, exquisite massages at the Juniper Spa, and dining experiences, particularly the Blue Belly Grill.

Many of our exquisite amenities were featured in the video made by Exclusive Utah.  The fine dining at the Blue Belly Grill simply jumps off the screen and cries “Eat me”, the gravity-defying pool is ready for someone to make the first splash, and the hot tub beckons for someone to take a dip.  The homes each look splendid with gorgeous entry-ways, aerial views of the rooftops and deep gulch, personal hot tubs bubbling, kitchens stocked with supplies from our grocery shopping service, and elegant master bedrooms and bathrooms with lighted candles.

Exclusive Utah did a spectacular job with the video and we are truly honored to be featured on by them.  Learn more about Exclusive Utah by visiting their website.
