La Verkin, Utah

Why Go

This site has not yet covered La Verkin, including lodging or dining there. Its main tie to a Zion trip is through the trail that shares its name. If you are picking a base, Springdale and Hurricane are better documented here.

What It Means for a Zion Trip

The La Verkin Creek to Kolob Arch hike is a 14-mile round trip that starts at Lee Pass in the Kolob Canyons district, descends into the La Verkin Creek drainage, and ends at a viewpoint of Kolob Arch, one of the world's largest natural arches. It is a full-day, strenuous commitment, so treat it seriously from the planning stage. The trail is in the park; the town is not on it. The picture on this page shows Zion's east side, not La Verkin.

Where to Stay and Eat

Look for small local options in town if you happen to be passing through, and check current listings. For places we can actually recommend, start with where to stay near Zion and where to eat, or read about nearby Hurricane.

Getting There from Springdale

We do not state a drive time here because the site has not sourced one. Look up current directions before you go, and use our hike guides to plan the day around the Kolob Canyons district. Other options nearby are collected under places near Zion.

Who La Verkin Suits

Mostly, it suits hikers planning the Kolob Arch route and anyone curious about the smaller towns of the region. Most first-time visitors will be happier basing in Springdale.
