Greater Zion, as they have recently named the whole west side of Zion, all the way up to the Nevada border starts only 25 or so miles from Arrowhead.
Arrowhead's location is also in what's now called Utah's Outback Region. Mount Carmel is just 15 miles away from Utah’s Red Rock Region, which puts Arrowhead right next to Zion National Park's East Entrance.
For spectacular scenery, history and wildlife, visit the parks and try some of the scenic highways and byways in the area (and don’t forget to catch the sunset on the beautiful White Cliffs behind Arrowhead). Also look for petroglyphs, Anasazi Indian ruins, pioneer forts, movie sets, art galleries and more nearby.
Bryce Canyon Things to to Test your camera skills at the National Parks and also at photographer hotspots such as Antelope Canyon, the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, the Wave, the White Cliffs of Mt. Carmel, Smithsonian Butte and many many others. In addition to the truly awesome scenery of the area, you can also capture (on film, that is) the wild turkeys in our pastures and the deer in the fields, as well as foxes, coyotes, elk, bald and golden eagles, hummingbirds, and the other wildlife that can be spotted nearby.
Trails for hiking are available in almost every park and monument. For more information on hiking in the parks, please check out our Itinerary page.
