About This Trail

Imported description
A short drive along the canyon floor. The park has shuttles that go up and down the canyon. Only shuttle buses and bicycles are allowed during this time. It is only accessible during the peak season by the Zion Canyon Shuttle service. The canyon with its sheer walls is the highlight of the drive. Prepare for hazardous driving conditions after storms. Icy spots are still there through the winter. Route 9 is open to private vehicles all year.
