Hi Friends! Here’s a secret cut through to Zion. This is a secret locals way, so shhhhhh. Amazing views and makes the trip to Springdale about 40 minutes. YOU WILL NOT GET DIRECTED TO THIS BY  GOOGLE MAPS! Drive from property toward Apple Valley and turn when you see brown sign on the right that says Smithsonian Butte Scenic Byway. This will also say MAIN STREET as this was once the main road for the area. 

​

Follow this gravel dirt road to Rockville. Don’t turn left when you see the turn off pointing to Gooseberry Mesa. That eventually dead ends and is where there are tons of camping spots, hikes, mountain biking and a pit toilet. Great place to explore if interested in adventuring!

 

Keep down the hill toward Smithsonian Butte Staging Area. 

​

Take a right on the paved road and eventually you will pass over a one lane bridge on the Virgin river. Take a right there and head toward Springdale and you will be in Zion within 10 minutes.

This cuts out about 20 minutes of travel from our property to the visitors center in Zion.
