Zion Canyon Mesa: A Visionary Dream Turned Reality Through Collaboration and Perseverance
Great ideas often require time and resources to become reality. Zion Canyon Mesa is the product of a passionate group from the Utah Humanities Council who recognized the creative inspiration that southern Utah offers. Over 30 years ago, they secured funding and astutely purchased 29 acres in Springdale with breathtaking views of red rocks and protected land. Their vision was to build accommodations for writer and artist retreats, channeling the artistic spirit of other Utah-inspired visionaries like Wallace Stegner.
As one of Mighty Penguin's longest-standing clients, Zion Canyon Mesa has been an exceptional partner, allowing us to support them through robust fundraising, including legislative efforts, and collaborative, solutions-oriented planning.
Today, we are proud to celebrate Zion Canyon Mesa's first phase, including the Commons and living quarters, which will be completed in the summer of 2023. This achievement is a testament to the power of collaboration, visionary thinking, and perseverance, and we are honored to have played a role in bringing this inspiring project to fruition.
