Zion Canyon Shuttle
The Zion Canyon Shuttle operates between April 1 and October 31. You may drive your private vehicle through the park on the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway year-round, but during the shuttle season, the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is accessible by shuttle bus only. It is easy to visit this part of the park by following these three steps.

1. Park
Parking at the visitor center is usually full between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. To avoid parking hassles, leave your car in the town of Springdale and ride the free town shuttle to the park. Enter the park on foot at the Zion Canyon Giant Screen Theater. Tune your radio to 1610 AM for more information.

2. Plan
Use the exhibits in the Zion Canyon Visitor Center to plan your visit based on your time (less than 3 hours or more than 3 hours) and your interests (sightseeing, hiking, and more). Check the schedule of Ranger-led activities and the park bookstore for maps and books to enhance your visit.

3. Ride
Free buses run from 5:45 a.m. to 11 p.m. as often as every six minutes (check actual schedules when you arrive). Buses are fully accessible. Pets are not allowed.
