When you stay at Canyon Country Chalet, we want you to experience the very best of the Mighty Five. What is the Mighty Five? The “Mighty Five” are five national parks found in Utah: Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Our location puts you in the heart of the Southwest—offering easy access not only to the iconic vistas of Bryce Canyon and Zion, but also to the spectacular slot canyons and hidden trails scattered throughout the surrounding region. That’s why I am so excited to introduce you to Mallory!
Mallory is a Southwest local and experienced guide who has spent a decade trekking through Southern Utah’s canyons and parks. While this is her passion, her “day job” is as a Critical Care Pharmacist—so you know her guides are meticulously researched and detailed! Her guides are the ultimate – wait until you see the map feature!
After following “Hello Mallory” on Instagram and her Facebook page, Roaming the Southwest, I invited her family to visit. It was her first time to Duck Creek Village, and she used our Chalet as her home base for a bucket-list trip: hiking The Subway in Zion. She came at the end of October 2025 with her Subway hiking permit,which she had applied for and received notice back in August. She loved her stay so much that she featured us in her professional travel guide!
Mallory shares on her Rexby site the following about her experience staying at Canyon Country Chalet: “When I say this is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in, I mean it — Katie has truly thought of everything, especially if you’re traveling with family or a group of friends. There’s a popcorn maker, s’mores station, endless toys in the Adventure Cave, and even an original Pac-Man machine ([daughter’s] new obsession). She didn’t even want to leave the toys for our hike — and honestly, I couldn’t blame her. Every detail is labeled and easy to use, which made our stay completely stress-free. Before this trip, I hadn’t even heard of Duck Creek Village — but now I can’t stop recommending it. It’s the perfect central hub for Southern Utah adventures… If you want one cozy home base instead of moving every few days, this is it.”
Getting Mallory’s amazing review meant the world considering all the travel she has done. I strive to provide a fabulous experience for my guests!
