Hey winter break visitors! Here's what you need to know before visiting the park.

Zion Canyon Shuttle and the Springdale Shuttle will be operating starting tomorrow from Friday, December 20 to Sunday, December 29. The Zion Canyon Shuttle takes you up the Zion Canyon Scenic Ddrive to our most popular hikes, and the Springdale Shuttle take you through Springdale up to the park pedestrian entrance fee booth.

The first bus leaves the Zion Canyon Visitor Center at 8 a.m. The last shuttle leaves the Visitor Center at 3 p.m., after that, you cannot go up canyon for the day. The last shuttle leaving the canyon departs from stop 9: Temple of Sinawava at 5:45 p.m.

The Springdale shuttle runs from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., so make sure to time when you leave the park, so you don't miss the bus. Remember, do not plan on taking the last shuttle of the day! If you miss the shuttle, that's a long, cold walk back.

As a reminder during this time private vehicles are not permitted on the scenic drive. Personal vehicle use starts back up December 30. We expect more visitors during the holiday season, so pack your patience and we look forward to seeing you in the park!

Our Story

“As the Great Spirit was building the mighty Rocky Mountains of North America, His toe caught on one of the tall peaks, and He fell. Below him, the earth’s tender surface was torn open and created a Grand Canyon. As he arose, the Great Spirit raised his Mighty Hand and caused the earth’s surface to erupt into convoluted heaps of folds, wrinkles and Grand Stair Steps.

The Great Spirit paused and was pleased with His changing creation. Great care and much time were taken to organize and beautify the face of the earth lying around Him. He sent the inland sea of Southern Utah away, which revealed the great rocks of the earth rising into incredible pillars, spires and natural bridges. The land was shaped with His myriad snake canyons of Lake Powell, the colorful steps of the Grand Staircase, and undulating sandstone formations of Coyote Buttes. And of course: The Grand Canyon.

On the final day of his Creation, the Great Spirit created his greatest work of all. From the dust of the Earth, he formed Man, to have joy.”

When you think you’ve seen it all, come to Southern Utah. Intimate and unspoiled, a rugged epicenter of adventure with beauty to spare. The uncrowded spectacle of the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, the towering pinnacles of Zion National Park, the bizarre hoodoos and rock amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon, the stark solitude of the 1-million-acre expanse of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the beautiful water slot canyons of Lake Powell, and numerous other remarkable locations are all waiting to be seen. Southern Utah has the highest concentration of natural wonders found anywhere on earth; there’s colors out here they don’t even have names for.
