Zion Ponderosa Giveaway | Birthday Number TWO | Staycation

Anyone know where this photo was taken?? Hint, it's in Utah.

Nope, it's not Angel's Landing, but it is in Zion National Park. I thought Angel's Landing was the highest hike...only to find out there's a hike even higher: Observation Point. 1,000 feet higher than Angel's Landing! (Angel's Landing below)

Not only is Observation Point 1,000 feet higher than Angel's Landing, it's also VERY near a 4,000 Acre Ranch Resort. This Ranch happens to be on the Edge of Zion National Park: Zion Ponderosa Resort! Zion Ponderosa sits at 6,500 ft. high in the sky, on one of Zion's many plateaus.

Sounds pretty dreamy right?

The more I read and hear about Zion Ponderosa Resort the more excited I get to share it with you. We've partnered up with Zion Ponderosa for something big! But let's hear a bit more about this wondrous place.

I wish I could leave a photo comment! I was looking at the resort's website last night! What a coincidence. My kids have never seen any of our 5 beautiful national parks and it has been TWENTY years since I have, either. Such a shame. We need to take advantage of what our beautiful state has to offer & give thanks.

I love love Zion. It's too crowded to stay in the park or in Springdale, so east side is where it's at! The ranch looks AMAZING!

What an awesome giveaway! I would love to win this giveaway Because I love what I have seen of Zion and I can't wait until I can explore more. My husband has never been and with the dates available, I could go on my birthday!
Thank you for all the effort your put into the salt project. It is so helpful and we have been able to experience things we otherwise wouldn't have!

Definitely need this trip! With the craziness of planning my daughter's wedding this summer, we could use a a winter vacation to recover. This beautiful place looks like it'd be the key we need to recharge. Thanks for the chance.

This would be an amazing prize! Zions is on my bucket list and we are moving to Texas in January so it our last chance for a real Utah adventure. Moving expenses and Christmas have us strapped so winning would make it possible to get away from all the stresses of moving. Such a cool prize. We have loved following you along salt project.

This looks like Heaven, I'm pregnant with my third child and currently potty training my toddler ☹️. A win would really be nice right about now. It would be so wonderful to have a babymoon before my husband and I become outnumbered. Truly looks like an amazing place.

Zion is beautiful! We tried to go in October but our babysitter caught hand foot and mouth disease. We were hours into the drive and had to turn around and go home. This looks like an awesome giveaway!
