RV/Coaches/Trailers/All Large Vehicles
Drivers of large vehicles traveling through Zion National Park on Utah State Route 9 need to be aware of the large vehicle size restrictions.
Vehicles sized 7'10'' in width or 11'4'' in height, or larger, are required to have an ''escort" (traffic control) through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. Vehicles this size are too large to stay in their lane while traveling through the tunnel. Nearly all RV's, buses, trailers, 5th wheels, dualie pick up trucks, and some camper shells will require an escort.
(Note: It is possible to visit Zion with a large vehicle without going through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. To do this you have to enter and exit through the South Entrance of the park, near Springdale).
Visitors requiring an escort must pay a $15 fee per vehicle in addition to the entrance fee. Pay this fee at a park entrance before proceeding to the tunnel. The fee is good for 2-trips through the tunnel for the same vehicle during a 7-day period.

Bicycle/Pedestrian
The park may be accessed at all entrances. On the Zion Mt. Carmel Highway that goes through the park, bicycles and pedestrians are prohibited from going through the one mile Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. Bicycle/pedestrian traffic entering the park from either entrance must arrange their own shuttle service through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel.

Public Transportation
Public transportation to the park is not available. The Zion Shuttle System does provide free transportation to the park from the town of Springdale

Getting Around
From April through October, the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive (a park road off of State Route 9) is accessible by the Zion Shuttle Bus only.

State Route 9, which traverses the park from east to west, is open year-round to private vehicles.
Please Note: Beginning in March 2010 a major road rehabilitation project will take place on State Route 9 between Canyon Junction and the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. This road work will cause many delays and some temporary closures. More details will be posted on this website as they become available.
