Southern Utah transforms in the winter—from striking red-rock landscapes to cool, comfortable hiking temps that make the season perfect for exploring the outdoors. Whether you’re a snowbird heading south for warmer weather, an RV traveler planning your winter route, or a family looking for a peaceful cold-season getaway, Jellystone Park™ Zion is the ideal home base for everything this region has to offer.
Located just minutes from Zion National Park and close to Hurricane and St. George, our park puts you right in the middle of world-class hiking, scenic drives, biking routes, and stunning viewpoints—without the summer crowds.
1. Spend the Day at Zion National Park — Then Relax Back at Jellystone
Zion’s winter season offers something special: open roads, crisp air, and dramatic canyon colors that shine even brighter against winter skies. Popular trails like Canyon Overlook, Pa’rus Trail, and Riverside Walk are far more peaceful in the cooler months, and scenic drives become a highlight all on their own.
After a day of exploring, come back to Jellystone Park Zion, where you can unwind, enjoy the peaceful scenery, and settle into a cozy evening at your campsite or cabin.
2. Explore Hurricane’s Winter-Friendly Outdoor Fun
Hurricane is one of the most outdoor-friendly towns in Utah, especially in the winter when temperatures are mild. You’ll find:
-
Sand Hollow State Park — boating, fishing, swimming (for the brave), and off-road adventures
-
Quail Creek State Park — calm water, excellent shore fishing, and stunning red rock backdrops
-
Southern Utah hiking & biking trails that remain open year-round
All of these are just minutes from Jellystone, making winter one of the best times of year to explore without the heat.
