Discover More in La Verkin, Utah
La Verkin is where canyon country begins—raw, rugged, and deeply serene. From town, it’s a short drive to Zion National Park’s South Entrance, but you’ll also find lesser-known treasures nearby, like the La Verkin Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion or the stunning views from Hurricane Overlook. The Confluence Park trail system winds along the Virgin River, offering locals and visitors alike a peaceful place to walk, bike, or birdwatch beneath towering cottonwoods.
The town’s elevated perch means incredible sunsets are a daily event, especially when viewed from the La Verkin Hot Springs area or along State Route 9. You’ll also find easy access to local gems in neighboring Hurricane and Springdale—from farm stands and food trucks to scenic drives and gear shops.
Greetwell guests can book curated experiences that connect them with La Verkin’s natural rhythms—like guided hikes, sunset photo tours, or private wellness sessions inspired by the desert landscape.
