Perched at a refreshing 7,600 feet at the entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park, Ruby’s Inn is welcoming guests looking to escape the oppressive summer heat of the surrounding valleys. With its high-elevation location, the historic property remains relatively cool throughout the summer months, offering a temperate basecamp for national park adventures and a full lineup of seasonal events.
General Manager Lance Syrett notes that visitors often expect all of Southern Utah to be hot during the summer, but the altitude at Ruby’s Inn provides a natural retreat. Right outside the doors, guests can access guided horseback and ATV or UTV rides, as well as the resort’s popular weekly rodeo.
The Bryce Canyon Country Rodeo is a major summer highlight, taking place Wednesdays through Saturdays at the Ruby’s Inn Rodeo Grounds. Spectators of all ages can watch bronco busters and cowboys display their skills in an authentic Western competition. The current season runs through August 22.
In addition to the rodeo, visitors can take advantage of the U.S. National Park Service Fee-Free Day on August 25. This provides a great opportunity for U.S. citizens and permanent residents to explore the stunning red rock country of Bryce Canyon National Park without the usual entrance cost. The summer season also features the Bryce Canyon Rock and Gem Show.
For those planning an extended stay, an End of Summer Deal is available from August 16 through August 27, offering 20 percent off per night for stays of two nights or more. This deal applies to specific room types and is limited to a maximum of five nights.
Since 1916, Ruby’s Inn has made it easy for visitors from around the world to experience the epic scenery of the region. As the closest lodging to the park, it offers a wide range of accommodations from luxury hotel rooms to RV parks and campgrounds. On-site amenities include the Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill, which features a western dinner show and cowboy grub nightly from April through October, and a General Store providing fuel, groceries, and souvenirs.
