Deals: Park lodge rooms in Utah’s Zion, California’s Sequoia from $99
Weekdays and winter are an ideal match for low rates at lodgings inside Zion and Sequoia & Kings Canyon national parks. Fewer visitors and snow are bonuses for those ready to bundle up to explore the off-season side of these parklands in Utah and California.
Deal 1: Zion National Park was created in 1919 and was the first national park in Utah. Zion Lodge offers a package that comes with breakfast for two and costs $139 a night for a room, $149 for a cabin and $179 for a suite. (Prices exclude tax.) Use the code “WNTR” when making a reservation.
When: The offer is good Sundays-Thursdays from now through March 20, based on availability. Weekends cost $15 more a night.
Tested: I found availability for $139 rooms on Jan. 12-14. Rates usually run $185 a night for rooms, $192 for cabins and $226 for suites. Note the package isn’t available around Christmastime or New Year’s Eve.

Deal 2: Though most people visit Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park in summer, winter makes for a beautiful snowshoe or cross-country ski trek amid the giant sequoias. Wuksachi Lodge inside the park offers $99 rooms for midweek travelers. Use the code “HOTRATE” when making a reservation.
When: The rates are good through the end of March, subject to availability.
Tested: I found a room available March 9-11 for the $99 rate, excluding tax. As a comparison, an online check shows rooms at the lodge start at $207 a night during the month of June.
