ZION NP, Utah — Spring is right around the corner, and that means visitors to Utah's Mighty 5 national parks will start to see a surge in visitors.
To prepare, Zion National Park will begin its shuttle service on Sunday, March 3, with springtime service running from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. from the Zion Visitor Center, with the last shuttle returning from Temple of Sinawava at 7:15 p.m.
After May 19 and through the summer, the first shuttle will leave the Visitor Center at 6 a.m., with the last shuttle leaving at 7 p.m. and returning at 8:15 p.m.
Visitors should be aware that this schedule is subject to change, but current shuttle information is available by checking here.
Once the shuttle is operating, Zion Canyon Scenic Drive will be closed to personal vehicles.
When parking inside Zion is full, the National Park Service may temporarily close parking lots and roads, but visitors can then park in Springdale and take the free Spingvale Line shuttle into the park.
No ticket or reservation is needed to ride either shuttle, but a park fee is required.
