Desert Pearl Inn
A riverside oasis of sun hued stucco, timbers reclaimed from old railroad trestles, and native stone grace this beautifully landscaped property.

The climate varies significantly between Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon and Zion National Park.  Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon are at an elevation between 6500-7500 feet, which keeps the temperatures moderate throughout the summer months. Zion is at an altitude of 4000 feet and is generally much warmer during the summer months.  In Zion, we have planned our walks for the morning and late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
