Zion National Park WITHOUT the shuttle | Canyon Overlook, Northgate Peaks, & the Watchman Trail

We visited Zion for the first time in 2018 and fell in love with the park’s gorgeous scenery. And we are so excited to be back and visit some of our favorites from our past trip, as well as some new spots!

UPDATE: As of May 28, 2021, you not longer need a shuttle permit to ride the shuttle, you just have to wait in line to ride it. We hear the line for the shuttle is around 2 hours on busy days, so we'd suggest that you arrive VERY early, take a bike to the trailheads instead, or do some of these alternate hikes to avoid the chaos.

We help travelers spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it! Our detailed travel guides, YouTube videos, and travel resources share the must-visit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier.
