Itinerary tips

• 1Arrive before 9:00 AM if you want to snag a seat directly on the outdoor deck overlooking the canyon.
• 2Order the 'Rock Bar' or a fresh cinnamon roll, as these signature pastries often sell out by midday.
• 3Park in the dedicated lot behind the building or along the side street, as the front spaces on Highway 9 fill up quickly.
• 4Plan for at least 45 minutes to enjoy the view, as this is a popular spot where the kitchen can get backed up during peak hours.
• 5Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the canyon breeze can be surprisingly brisk in the early morning.
• 6Use this as your final fuel stop before the 20-minute drive into the Zion National Park south entrance.
