Zion Canyon Scenic Drive

• You must yield to oncoming traffic.

• The Canyon Junction, Weeping Rock and several other areas have limited sight corridors and narrow lanes. Use caution!
• Regular bicycles are allowed on the park shuttles, but e-bikes are not.
• Remember that this is still a road with vehicles traveling on it. Ride responsibly.

Other park roads
