ST. GEORGE — Car-free travel to and within the Zion National Park's border town, Springdale, is being reconsidered by its leadership.
"We are looking at ways to encourage more people to visit Springdale and Zion National Park without relying on a private vehicle. And so we call that 'car free' travel to and in Springdale," Tom Dansie said. "We'll be looking at what that means for public transit."
Dansie recently attended the "Balancing Nature and Commerce in Gateway Communities" conference hosted by the Conservation Fund. The workshops brought together different gateway community leaders from across the country.
They discussed the best ways to balance the community's needs and protect the community's character, the environment and the natural resources. He said they also discussed accommodating visitation and tourism related to natural resources or amenities.
