Ride With Us!
Bryce Canyon is one of many busy national parks that has a mass transit system to minimize vehicle congestion and the resulting impacts that jeopardize the very things we all treasure about national parks. Although using our shuttle system is NOT mandatory, by riding our buses you will show us that you support our efforts to keep our parking lots from growing any larger, to keep our pure air as clean possible, and to provide enough room in our little park for everyone to experience the magic of Bryce Canyon.

There is no extra fee to use the shuttle system in the developed area as indicated by the stops listed below. Paying your $25 entrance fee to Bryce Canyon entitles you to unlimited use of the Bryce Canyon Shuttle buses. Annual Passes waive the entrance fee to not only this park but all other National Park Service Areas and other Federal lands that may have fees, across the entire country. If you do not already have one of these annual passes they can be purchased at the entrance to the park.

Following are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the shuttle:

• Is a shuttle really needed? During the summer, much of the magic of Bryce Canyon is lost when visitors spend time waiting in lines to enter parking lots, circling parking lots looking for empty spaces, or fighting traffic in congested areas. There is one parking space for every four cars entering the park. Other alternatives considered, such as enlarging parking areas or limiting the number of visitors in the park, have their own negative consequences.
  
• What if I want to drive my personal vehicle into the park? If visitors elect to drive their personal vehicles into the park, they will be charged a $25 fee at the entrance station. Once inside the park, all visitors will have the option of using the shuttle throughout their stay. Park pass holders will be admitted free.
  
• What if I want to camp, or have lodging arrangements within the park? You will have to pay the $25 fee in order to drive your vehicle to the Bryce Canyon Lodge or campgrounds, and you will have the option of using the shuttle throughout your stay in the park. You will pay camping fees of $10 at the campground locations. Click here for more information regarding camping.
