Description
Our popular hiker shuttle service returns! Beginning December 15, take the FREE hiker shuttle from Coronado National Memorial Visitor Center to Montezuma Pass. The shuttle service runs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8:30 am. Join a ranger or park volunteer for a short orientation program at Montezuma Pass and take in the views. You can either hike the three mile Joes Canyon Trail back to the visitor center and your vehicle, or ride the shuttle back to the visitor center. Shuttle service is subject to weather and staff availability and may be canceled without notice.
-
If hiking, bring water and sun protection, wear sturdy shoes, and layered clothing.
-
Joe’s Canyon Trail is 3 miles from Montezuma Pass to the visitor center with an elevation loss of 1300 ft.
-
Shuttle is free; larger groups of 6 or more should call the park to arrange a special shuttle well in advance. Special shuttle requests are dependent on staffing and may not be available on busy days (Saturdays and Sundays).
- If you plan to ride with children please provide your own regulation child safety seats. Ranger and staff reserve the right to deny passage due to unsafe equipment.
Seats are available on a first-come first-served basis. Check in at the visitor center to sign-up the day of the shuttle - the visitor center opens at 8 am. Due to capacity limits of the shuttle van, we cannot accommodate large groups (hiking groups, etc). The van holds 11 passengers. To arrange a shuttle service for a special group please contact the park for more information.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic all riders must wear a mask regardless of the current community level in the county. Masks will be available for any rider who needs one. Anyone refusing to wear a mask will be denied service. When the community level in Cochise County is at MEDIUM or HIGH, capacity in the van will be cut to 5 passengers. Park staff reserves the right to not operate the shuttle when the community level is at high.
Each rider must sign liability waiver before riding the shuttle.
