Dining
The Park House
Cozy, rustic Park House in Zion serves up breakfast and lunch with a cliff-side vibe. Eggs Benedict comes with perfectly poached eggs and glossy hollandaise; the Breakfast Burrito is a hearty, warm tunnel of eggs and cheese; pancakes stay hot and fluffy; the Gourmet Street Tacos deliver juicy fillings; the burger keeps its juiciness with crisp potato wedges on the side. Outdoor patio views of Zion’s cliffs seal the deal on a memorable bite after a hike.
