A Utah ski resort company took over Zion National Park’s concessions. Here’s what it means for visitors.Zion National Park’s“Zion Lodge has welcomed visitors for almost a century, and we appreciate the service its operators have provided to thousands of visitors during that time,” Zion Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh told The Salt Lake Tribune via email.
POWDR’s plans for Zion include upgrading the park’s lodging facilities, expanding its food and beverage choices and introducing educational programs that will help visitors better connect with the area’s geology, environment and cultural history. It also aims to hire a full-time environmental manager to help reduce the park’s environmental footprint.
“We’ll also look to improve the living conditions for our employees, including expanded high-speed internet, upgraded rooms/bedding, improved common areas, and revitalizing the gym area, laundry facilities and meals,” Hutchinson said.
