Swimming in Zion And Other Ways to Stay Cool

Staying cool is a just a part of summer, so we’ve got some great ways to help you and your family do just that. For instance, the desert may not be the first place you think of when it comes to water, but there are plenty of places to go swimming in Zion.

We have plenty of ways for you and your family to stay cool right here at Zion River Resort. One way to keep your core temperature down is to drop by our ice cream shop and pick out your favorite flavor for a refreshingly frozen mid-day treat. Another local favorite is The Big Chill, a shaved ice shop in nearby La Verkin, Utah. They feature dozens of flavors, which can be paired to make an endless amount of combinations, or you can choose one of their ready-made combos, like Blueberry Muffin, Peach Rings, or StrazzMaTazz.
