You don’t need 4-wheel drive to get to Open Sky. The drive to Open Sky is paved highway with the exception of three miles of improved dirt road, Dalton Wash Road. This road takes you off the beaten path and is maintained by private land owners. Depending on weather and usage, it can be quite wash-boarded. If you take it slow, no matter the road’s condition, we promise you’ll enjoy some gorgeous scenery driving in. We do recommend keeping an eye on regional weather conditions. The outdoors can be rugged in the Zion region and we are experiencing drought conditions. Exceptionally heavy rainfall can cause the roads to be slippery or wash out.
The closest services for gas, food, ice, laundry, groceries is LaVerkin and Hurricane. We recommend stopping for your shopping needs before driving up to Open Sky.

Cell phone coverage is spotty at the property. To accommodate your connectivity, we have added WeBoost services and Starlink internet services to the on-site reception office that amplifies data and cellular signals.

Travel insurance can provide that safety-net to protect your deposits and more. This is especially true if you’re traveling abroad, where your health plan may have limited global coverage. Again, Open Sky does not recommend any specific insurance company or policy.
