Heads Up
- 1. Check current NPS/UDOT road and shuttle updates before you go, especially for Zion Canyon shuttle operations, Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel rules, and any weather-related high-elevation or desert-road closures.
- 2. Zion’s official park page points visitors to current shuttle, road, and facility conditions.
- 3. Bryce’s current-conditions page notes seasonal/temporary road status updates.
- 4. Day 10: 5h 17m driving — plan rest stops
