The main West Entrance to Zion is 15 miles from Open Sky, or twenty minutes driving. Our property is unique in that it remotely borders the far West side of Zion National Park with stunning views included. Technically, you can hike into Zion National Park from our property, but to enter the park through the main entrance, you will need to drive into Springdale first.
We recommend flying into either Las Vegas International Airport or St. George Regional Airport. You can rent a car from either location and drive to Open Sky.
From Las Vegas to Open Sky – Approximately 2 hrs 45 minutes. Please keep in mind the 1 hour time difference between Nevada and Utah when planning your travel.
From St George Regional Airport to Open Sky – Approximately 45 minutes.

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. We have found that Verizon tends to have the best coverage at Open Sky Zion. We welcome you to use these services during your stay.
All tents have a framed doors that lock. Entry is with coded keypads. Even with accommodations that lock, we urge you to keep any valuable items in your locked vehicle. Though it is highly unlikely that theft would be an issue at Open Sky Zion, there is always a possibility of theft.

This is why we highly recommend travel insurance! Open Sky does not recommend any specific insurance company or policy.
If you plan to travel to Utah from another country or state, you may want to have travel insurance as a financial safeguard for pandemic-related, weather, or airline rleated problems. 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.
Our cancelation fee also applies to changes in your arrival/departure date which result in a shorter stay. No refunds are provided for late arrivals or early departures.
