Zion Trailhead Shuttle

It's All About Your Trip

Zion Canyon Shuttle Service

Zion National Park has a designated area called “The Scenic Drive”. This is a road that is closed to personal vehicles during times of busy visitation (March-December), while the Zion shuttle bus is in operation. On this road you will find trailheads to many of the iconic hikes in Zion such as The Narrows, Angels Landing and Emerald Pools. While there are some hikes in Zion (Canyon Overlook, The Watchman and Par’us trails) that you can drive your personal vehicle to, trailheads on the scenic drive will require you to ride the Zion shuttle, or ride an ebike/bike to access those hikes. The options below are meant to help you decide what shuttle is right for you, for trailheads in all other areas of ZNP!

It is also important to know that we rent eBikes and this is another great way to get into the canyon that eliminates the need for the Zion shuttle entirely and allows you to avoid the long shuttle lines . You can enjoy a gorgeous ride through the Zion canyon on the way to your hike!

Important Zion National Park Shuttle Update

“In response to updated guidance on transit systems in National Parks and COVID-19, Zion National Park is discontinuing the temporary shuttle ticket system for Zion Canyon. Tickets for the shuttle will no longer be needed starting Friday, May 28, 2021.

Shuttle bus capacities will be similar to pre-COVID. In order to meet safety requirements, each passenger must be seated or have a standing room handhold (railing, stanchion, seat bar, overhead grasp handle). The current shuttle stops will remain the same.  

Other Shuttle Services

We are not able to offer a shuttle service for hikes located on The Scenic Drive (The Narrows, Angels Landing and Emerald Pools) while the Zion Shuttle Bus is in operation, March through December, as this is a gated road and ZNP restricts automobile access.

The massive vertical terrain of Zion National Park makes many hiking and canyoneering trips most easily approached as one-way journeys. This means you leave your car at one trailhead, and end up at another, quite distant from the first. Before embarking on such an adventure, you must arrange a trailhead shuttle to reunite with your car.

Zion Guru offers hiker trailhead shuttles throughout Zion National Park and the surrounding area. Our private shuttle service operates on a per-request basis, following the below pricing. We can accommodate most of Zion trailhead shuttle styles and approaches.

For all trips ending in Zion Canyon, you leave your vehicle in town and we shuttle your party to your starting destination trailhead. Once you reach Zion Canyon, you take the Zion Scenic Shuttle System back to town, where your car is.

For other adventures, like The Subway, we meet you at your destination trailhead (where you leave your car) and take you to the departure trailhead. When you finish your hike, your car conveniently awaits. Zion National Park Wilderness map.
