Every year, the National Park Service (NPS) makes seasonal adjustments to its shuttle schedules. Here is what you need to know to plan your visit:

• You do not need a ticket or reservation to ride the park shuttle or enter the park.

• During the shuttle season visitors cannot drive personal vehicles on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. This includes before shuttles start for the day and after they stop running.

• Shuttles arrive about every 10-15 minutes on the Springdale Line (outside the park) and about every 5-10 minutes on the Zion Canyon Line (inside the park).

Be mindful of the time you board the shuttle back to the Zion Canyon Visitor Center at the end of the day. You should not wait for the last shuttle of the day. If the last shuttle is full, or if you miss the last shuttle, you may have to walk nine miles back to the Zion Canyon Visitor Center.
