• The decontamination station is open 7 AM–7 PM daily May through September and 7 AM–5 PM daily October through April, and closed on Thanksgiving Day
• The diptank is open seasonally and takes two people: the boat operator and the vehicle driver

Water quality

It is more common in warmer months and most often found in shallow water near the shoreline. Drying off with a towel soon after leaving the water and avoiding long stays in warm, shallow shoreline areas may help.

Heat and weather

• In July and August daytime temperatures frequently top 105°F. Carry and drink 32 oz of water per person, per hour, wear sunscreen, dress appropriately and avoid the hotter hours, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
• Summer monsoon season, typically July through September, can bring heavy afternoon rains and flash floods. Check flash flood warnings at https://www.weather.gov/slc/FlashFlood.
• Winters are mild, but the desert's low humidity means temperatures drop quickly after sundown. Wear and pack layers (avoid cotton), carry water, use sun protection and check sunrise and sunset times.
• Cell phone coverage is limited. Tell friends or family your plans, and call for help early if you get lost.

Crowds

• Visitation is higher than normal around the holidays, and parking in the canyon is limited. Park in designated lots only, have a back-up plan and come back later if a trailhead lot is full.

Dogs, wildlife and the land

• Dogs are permitted on all park trails and in the campground. Keep them on a leash of 6 feet or less and under your control, and scoop, bag and bin all waste.
• Off-trail hiking isn't allowed because the park sits in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, which protects the desert tortoise.
• Don't approach or handle wildlife, except a Mojave desert tortoise on the park road, which you can move by following the instructions on the back of the park brochure. Of the 11 snake species in the park, only the Great Basin rattlesnake and Mojave sidewinder are venomous, and encounters are rare.
• Pack it in and pack more out; don't move rocks, cut plants, write on rocks or take artifacts.
• Drones need an advance permit; see Permits.

Rules: https://www.southwestadventuretours.com/resources/faqs/

A private, guided day trip of about 13 hours door to door, with hotel pickup in downtown Salt Lake City. The route is about 270 miles, roughly four hours each way. Times are approximate and move with the season and the group.

Pickup and return

• Your guide picks you up at your hotel around 6:00 AM.
• You are back at your hotel by about 6:30 PM.
• Guides are available in up to 5 languages.
• Taxes and fees are included in the price.

The route

• 6:00 AM: hotel pickup and a drive south on I-15, with the guide telling the geology and settlement history of the Colorado Plateau. A rest stop is made on the way.
• 9:30 AM: Red Canyon on SR-12, the first hoodoo country. Hoodoos are the area's unique rock formations.
• 10:00 AM: enter Bryce Canyon National Park, with stops at Fairyland Point, then Sunrise and Sunset Points on the Bryce Amphitheatre rim.
• 12:00 PM: picnic lunch on the rim, weather permitting; otherwise lunch at a nearby cafe.
• 1:00 PM: walk the rim trail between Sunrise and Sunset Points (about half a mile, paved and mostly level). If your group and conditions allow, drop below the rim on the Navajo Loop or Queen's Garden trail. Bryce Point and the Natural Bridge viewpoint come if time allows.
• 3:00 PM: leave the park and return on Scenic Byway 14 over Cedar Mountain, with views toward Zion Canyon, Deep Creek and Cedar Breaks National Monument.
• 6:30 PM: hotel drop-off in Salt Lake City.

Wear shoes with grip.

Bring a warm layer and a windproof layer.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a brimmed hat and lip balm.

Bring a water bottle.

• Altitude: the Bryce rim runs from about 8,000 to 9,100 feet, nearly 4,000 feet above Salt Lake City. Expect to be more breathless than usual, drink plenty of water, take it slowly and tell your guide if you feel unwell.
• Below the rim: the Navajo Loop and Queen's Garden trails are steep, dusty and switchbacked, and the climb back out is more than 500 feet. Your guide will say whether it suits your party; there is a full rim-trail day for groups where it doesn't. Ice often lingers in shaded sections well into spring.
• Hiking with the group is not mandatory.
• Temperature: the rim can be 20 to 30°F cooler than Salt Lake City, and the swing between shade and full sun is dramatic.
• Weather: lunch moves to a nearby cafe if the weather is against a picnic. July and August bring afternoon thunderstorms.
• Pace: if someone needs a slower pace, tell the operator; a private tour can accommodate it.
• No smoking on the tour.

• Angels Landing: a permit hike with Walter's Wiggles, a series of 21 steep switchbacks. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
• Emerald Pools: Lower Emerald Pool is one mile round trip to a small waterfall (80 feet of climbing); Upper Emerald Pool is a moderate three-mile round trip (360 feet of climbing). Don't go into the water.

• Grotto Trail: easy, one half mile one way. The Kayenta Trail is a moderate one mile one way between the Grotto and Zion Lodge.
• Court of the Patriarchs: a paved viewpoint trail about 150 feet long.

Zion Canyon shuttle

• Free; no ticket, permit or reservation needed.
• The Zion Canyon Line serves 9 stops inside the park, from the visitor center to the Temple of Sinawava. Shuttles come about every 5–10 minutes and take about 45 minutes one way.
• The Springdale Line serves 9 stops in town, including the park's pedestrian/bike entrance at Zion Canyon Village, about every 10–15 minutes.
• Shuttles usually run daily from March through November, plus the holiday season near the end of December. The schedule changes each season and is subject to change; check the shuttle schedule before you go.
• Don't wait for the last shuttle of the day. If you miss it or it's full, you may have to walk nine miles back to the visitor center.
• Up-canyon boarding isn't allowed at Canyon Junction (Stop 3) or the Human History Museum (Stop 2), and Big Bend (Stop 8) is a down-canyon stop only.
• Bicycles go on the front rack (no fat-tire bikes or e-bikes), and strollers can come along; you load them yourself.
• No pets (service animals only), no eating or smoking, and only capped bottles of water.
• All shuttle buses are wheelchair accessible, with a combined ramp weight limit of 1000 lbs; the ramp can't take chairs larger than 48 inches long or 32 inches wide.

Driving

• During shuttle season, Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is closed to private vehicles, even before and after shuttles run. Private vehicles may drive it in the non-shuttle season, usually December through February. Lodge and Canyon Trail Rides guests with reservations may drive up to designated parking.
• Personal vehicles are allowed year-round on the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway, Kolob Canyons Scenic Drive and Kolob Terrace Road.
• Large vehicles that exceed the size limits can't use the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway between Canyon Junction and the East Entrance and must reroute through Springdale.
• Road closures: Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway sometimes closes for snow, ice, rockfall or traffic. Kolob Terrace Road usually closes for several months from fall to spring. Kolob Canyons Road closes frequently in winter, and Lava Point Road is typically closed from fall into spring.
• Park lots often fill early. If you leave your car in Springdale (paid parking), ride the free Springdale Line to the park; you still pay the entrance fee.

No reservation or permit is needed to enter the park or to ride a park shuttle.

Heat, water and weather

• Summer daytime temperatures regularly exceed 100°F (38°C), and mid-to-late summer monsoons raise the chance of flash floods, which are always possible. Winter daytime temperatures typically run 30°F to 60°F.
• Toxic cyanobacteria can be present: don't submerge your head in or drink water from rivers, streams or pools. Use water from potable sources, or as a last resort treat water collected directly from springs.

Crowds and parking

Pets and fire

• Pets aren't allowed on shuttles or trails, except the Pa'rus Trail. Service dogs on a leash are permitted throughout the park.
• Fireworks are always prohibited.

Accessibility

• None of Zion's trails are ADA accessible by law because of the terrain. Pa'rus Trail, Lower Emerald Pool Trail and Riverside Walk are considered wheelchair-friendly at your own discretion, and some sections may need assistance.
• An all-terrain wheelchair is on loan at Zion Canyon Visitor Center.
• Visitor centers, shuttle buses and Zion Lodge are accessible. Accessible restrooms are throughout the park, and designated picnic areas are mostly accessible. Audio described and large print park brochures are available.
