Sightseeing
I'm sure this is why you're here!! It is only 41 miles from our place to Zion's main entrance and just 1 mile from our place to Zion's western entrance at Kolob Canyon.
You need a ticket for the shuttle to enter Zion at the main entrance. Reserve at the link below. You DO NOT need a ticket to enter at Kolob Canyon, however there is a fee.

Hikes:
I love the Angel's Landing hike. It is strenuous and a bit scary towards the end. If you are afraid of heights don't go on the part with a narrow path and drop off/cables. There is risk with this hike at this point. It is amazing if you go to the very end.
Definitely hike the "narrows". It is BEAUTIFUL, breathtaking and amazing!!. Wear water shoes and plan on getting wet to at least your waist maybe higher depending on the time of year. Check weather conditions before hiking as flash flooding can occur.

Short, easy hike from trailhead to waterfall.
Cascade Falls is a waterfall in Dixie National Forest. Water drains through sinkholes in the east end of the lake and flows through underground lava tubes before reappearing as Cascade Falls.
To reach the Cascade Falls trailhead from Cedar City (I-15 exits 57, 59 and 62), drive east on Utah State Route 14 for 25.3 miles, turn right onto Navajo Lake Road (Forest Road 053), then immediately turn left onto a dirt road (Forest Road 054) and follow signs to the trailhead.
Alternatively, turn right from SR-14 at Duck Creek Visitor Center to another dirt road while again following signs to Cascade Falls. Provided that the access roads to the trailhead are passable, it is a short and easy 0.6-mile hike to a viewing platform at the end of the trail from where to view the waterfall as water flows out from an opening in the rock wall.
The amount of water flowing over Cascade Falls depends on the amount of snow accumulated in winter.
