Zion Canyon Scenic Drive
OVERVIEW

The most popular road biking option in Zion National Park, the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, is 8.7 miles of stunning beauty around every turn. The road is closed to private vehicle traffic during the busiest times of year - from April to October- allowing bikers to share the road only with the shuttle busses. Another option, to avoid pedaling up the incline to the Temple of Sinawava, is to put your bike on the shuttle (April - October). Once the shuttle reaches it's final destination, or any shuttle stop in between, you can remove the bike and enjoy a relaxing coast downhill all the way back to town.
