WINTER IN ZION


Winter is a great time to visit the Zion National Park area. It adds variety to the landscapes and the area is very beautiful with snow to contrast the stunning red rock. Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort is open year round and winter has plenty to offer.

Zion National Park may be at its best in the winter season, the perfect time to getaway and experience the serenity of our forested plateau above Zion National Park. This means you can truly enjoy a serene winter get-away.

Dining, lodging, and recreation services continue year-round. There may be some variables based weather conditions. Check with our reservation agents for the dates you are interested in.

Walk across our 4,000 acre ranch or venture into Zion National Park. There are very few people in the park, daytime temperatures are usually ideal, and the wildlife can be much easier to view (wild turkeys, eagles, bighorn sheep and more).



Services: Standard resorts operations are variable from December through early March.

Destination: We are five miles up the North Fork road and off the beaten path. That is part of what makes your experience so great, so please remember to have clear instructions on how to get here, especially if you are traveling after dark.

Roads & Snow: We normally see light amounts of snow at Zion Ponderosa, but occasionally can experience deep snow. Come prepared to enjoy the winter weather. All area roads are plowed, but remember that it takes some time to clear roads after a snow storm.

Activities: This time of year is very quiet in Zion National Park. You may just have the park to yourself, and the drive through the park is open year-round. Winter daytime temperatures are usually quite perfect for hiking, and there are many trails that you’ll find particularly spectacular in winter. Look for wild turkeys, bighorn sheep, eagles, deer, and other wildlife that are often much more visible during this season
