Travel Tips
To reach Arrowhead Country Cabins from Las Vegas, you will be driving through Zion National Park (you can drive all the way through Zion on Highway 9). We advise you to leave Las Vegas early in the day to have time for exploring Zion on the way through.
Note: Extra large vehicles may have restrictions for getting through the tunnel at Zion. Make sure and look into this on the Zion National Park website.
If you are planning on visiting 2 or more National Parks in a year’s time, pay the $80 for the yearlong pass. This pass will get you into any National Park, nationwide. If you pay for a pass in each National Park in this area, individually, you might pay $90 ($30 for each park) & your passes will only be good for 1 week. Note: Park fees subject to change
Remember the time change: Utah is on Mountain time, Nevada is on Pacific time & Arizona is on Pacific time in the summer & Mountain time in the winter.
Plan for all weather: Zion National Park is very warm through June, July and August. Bryce Canyon can be warm or cold depending on the weather. Cedar Breaks, at 10,300 ft., is often cool. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon at 9,000 ft. is beautiful no matter what the weather, which can vary.
Actually "beautiful" and "awesome" are words you will likely to use a lot when travelling from point to point in this part of the world, no matter the time of year.
Note: The North Rim is usually open from May 15th thru October 15th or until the first major snowfall (see the Grand Canyon National Park website for current details as things can change).
If you have lung or breathing issues the elevation changes can be harder for you. Please keep this in mind when traveling and try to prepare. Go slow and don't over do it! One of the great things about southern Utah is there are so many things to see right from your vehicle, so if you get tired and don't feel up to hiking you can still enjoy the awesome sights!
Also remember that the West is HUGE and requires a fair bit of driving to get from park to park and sight to sight. Arrowhead’s central location between the parks and sights is convenient, and the cabins are an ideal base camp, located on Scenic Highway 89, which makes for pleasant driving.
The cabin’s location is also convenient due to the many nearby attractions which are within 19 miles, including Zion National Park, Belly of the Dragon, Red Hollow Slot Canyon, the historic Home Studio of Maynard Dixon, the Bingham Gallery, Best Friends’ Animal Sanctuary, Moqui Cave, Old Hollywood Movie Sets, Kanab, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, and the stunning White Cliffs of Mt. Carmel.
If you have dietary restrictions you will want to bring some food that you like or go to Kanab (20 min away) to stock up. Terry's Grocery is just up the road from Arrowhead, but carries limited specialty diet foods.
Bring a good camera with lots of memory space, good hiking boots, river sandals, light jacket in summer, (coat, hat & gloves in winter) sunscreen, sun glasses, swim suit for the seasonal swimming pool and hot tub, hat for shade, a backpack & something to carry water in. Leave your worries, forget your problems, be prepared to see & experience Southern Utah and all the wonders it holds. There is no other place like it!
