Zion National Park is resuming shuttle service on Sunday. Every year, the National Park Service adjusts shuttle schedules, visitor center hours, and campground availability to reflect the seasons. Here is what you need to know to plan your visit. 

Zion will share an update later this year about service between Christmas and the new year. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is closed to personal vehicles while the park shuttle is operating. Plan for limited parking in Zion National Park. When parking inside Zion is full, the NPS may temporarily close parking lots and roads. You can park in Springdale and ride the free Springdale Line shuttle to get to the park.  

You do not need a permit, ticket, or reservation to enter the park or ride the park shuttle, but you do need to pay the park fee.
