On this thoroughfare are the gateway communities of Zion Mountain at the east gate and Springdale at the west gate.  For park visitors Zion Mountain offers an experience that is closer to what you would expect while visiting a national park.  At 6,000 feet in elevation and at the top of the park, Zion Mountain offers cooler summer temperatures and several different lodging options, along with dining, horseback riding and two gift-shops.  At a lower elevation Springdale has much warmer summer temperatures but offers more lodging, dining and shopping options.
