here i am moving from las vegas area, a frequent visitor to zion, to cleveland. If you like nature and working alot take the job... if not don't. It will be the only thing that you seen when you are not working. Buy some great hiking boots, learn the trails, and springdale. St gorge isn't too far away, so you will have some type of shopping near by. First problem you will find is gettin good products, so go visit all of the chefs in springdale and figure out what they are getting. Then try to get better stuff then them. From a frequent "parker" zion may be my favorite of all. It's not too big, and very intense. Good luck.
