To escape the lines at Zion this summer, travel to Hildale instead. Despite its troubled, complicated past, the city has transformed into a destination for outdoorsy travelers looking to enjoy a quiet yet just as beautiful side of Utah.⁠ ⁠ Water Canyon, often compared to the ultra-popular Narrows Canyon, sits just eight minutes from town. And half an hour east, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park offers off-roading and sand sledding adventures on its pink-colored dunes. Meanwhile, White Domes, an outcropping of cream-colored sandstone domes near the top of Canaan Mountain, draws in more experienced backcountry hikers.⁠ ⁠ Hildale is also home to the rare Utah vineyard, Water Canyon Winery, whose owners also opened the Water Canyon Resorts, a collection of 20 luxury cabins nestled in the rocky landscape.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to read about how this Utah town is transforming its dark past into a welcoming community for lovers of the outdoors.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: gourmetpigs⁠ 📸:⁠ 1.
