Zion suspends shuttle amid ongoing coronavirus concerns

Utah’s oldest and busiest national park is making some changes for the health and safety of visitors amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Effective March 17, 2020, Zion National Park will temporarily suspend the park’s shuttle operation, park officials announced Monday.

The park itself remains open and visitors will be allowed to drive up the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive until the limited parking in the main canyon has filled. Once parking is full, the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive will be closed and open intermittently as parking spaces become available, most likely between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
