A scenic drive with amazing views of Zion National Park.

Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is the main road through Zion NP. There is a fee to drive through the park, and it can only be seen via shuttle during the high tourist season. If doing the entire scenic drive, on Hwy 9 from I-15 to Mt. Carmel Junction, you will pass through the surrounding cities of Hurricane, Virgin, Rockville, and Springdale before getting to the park. Coming out of the park, you will drive through the Zion Tunnel before arriving at Mt. Carmel Junction.

Use a Bike Save the Planet! Best way to get around the park is by bike! You can stop wherever you want to take in the breathtaking views! If not on your own power, you can rent ebikes in town. We seemed to be the few on regular OG bicycles, but it makes taking in the views better and longer. ;)

Canyon Overlook Trail

The trailhead is located east out of the 1.1 mile long tunnel off highway 9. Parking is available immediately to the right after exiting the tunnel and the trail then begins with these charming steps, carved into sandstone, that climb above the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. The trail is broad and easy to follow, but could get muddy and rocky at certain points. If it had rained before you take this tr...
