There is a charge for parking in Springdale. When it’s shuttle season, visitors should park in the town of Springdale and ride the town shuttle to access the Park.


IMPORTANT: Plan ahead so you don’t miss the last shuttle, or find the last shuttle is full! The walk back to your vehicle can be up to 8 miles or more, and it will be dark! You can walk to the Zion Lodge, still a long walk in the dark, where the Front Desk will have a list of companies that provide after-hours shuttle van rides. The Park Information Guide will always have the latest shuttle information and rules for using the shuttle. You may get on and off at any shuttle stop going up and down Zion Canyon. Shuttles leave every few minutes going to all the stops on the route in both directions. The shuttle to access Zion Canyon connects the Visitor Center to all the stops along the Zion Canyon scenic drive.
