UYurt is the perfect basecamp
Southern Utah is, in fact, a treasure trove! Garfield County always has a calendar of upcoming events if you want to rub shoulders with the locals. Here is the best website to discover what is waiting for you: http://www.brycecanyoncountry.com/.
Most areas allow pets but Bryce Canyon National Park does not; there is a kennel service in Panguitch called Pawz Dogz if you're planning a day outing since pets can't be left unattended in the yurts.
For information about Zion National Park visit: www.nationalparks.org/Zion/National-Park. There are many hikes within ZNP that require permits so do some research.
The neighboring county, Kane County, is just a stone’s throw away and they have great information as well: http://www.visitsouthernutah.com
