Springdale.

Springdale sits at the doorstep of Zion National Park, where the red sandstone cliffs rise so close to town that many hotel rooms open right onto the view. The compact main street makes it easy to settle into one of the local hotels after a day of hiking, then refuel at one of the restaurants serving everything from trailside sandwiches to sit-down dinners. With 32 listed destinations, it's a small town built almost entirely around the canyon at its back door.
