Esquire Magazine has been a staple on the American magazine shelf since the 1930’s, and has earned quite the reputation as the top men’s lifestyle magazine covering topics like fashion, cocktails, and travel. One of Esquire Magazine’s newest travel lists, Charming American Towns You Haven’t Heard of But Should Visit ASAP, put Springdale, Utah, at number three!

Esquire describes Springdale as "a small village where visitors can soak up the breathtaking mountain-scape as they enjoy dining at the local brewery or shopping at one of the many crystal and geode shops."

The town was first settled as a Mormon farming community, but has grown over the years to serve as a perfect stopping place for tourists heading to or from Zion National Park.
