Heads up National Park lovers, if you’re hoping to make a trip to Zion National Park at some point this year, their shuttle bus service is set to begin operations on Sunday, March 2, 2025.
Zion’s shuttle bus service helps to reduce the traffic and congestion created by numerous cars, trucks, RVs, and other vehicles. The shuttle services are adjusted every year to reflect the seasons.
Permits, tickets, and reservations are not required to enter the park or ride the park shuttle, but a park fee does need to be paid. Any time that you plan on visiting Zion National Park you should take a look at their website to find the most up-to-date information.

Zion National Park Need To Know:
No matter when you visit Zion, plan ahead by checking for updates at nps.gov/zion. As you plan your visit, remember:
- Pack your pass. Bring your annual park pass or receipt in your pocket, and don’t forget it at a hotel or in your car. Rangers at park entrances will request to see it.
- Parking fills early year-round.
- Watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists if you are driving.
- Stay on trails and avoid walking in the road.
- Ride your bike on the road or the Pa’rus Trail. Bicycling is not allowed on any other trails in the park. If you are riding in the road, you must stop and place a foot on the ground to let buses pass you.
- The NPS may temporarily close roads if traffic is congested or there is nowhere for drivers to leave cars.
- In general, fewer people visit Zion on weekdays than weekends. Consider arriving early or after 3 p.m. to avoid the busiest times of day.
Follow Leave No Trace practices everywhere in the park and be sure to pack out all of your trash.
