5/20/2026 Zion National Park

 5/20/2026 We drove from Bryce to Zion and back (for camping)

 Zion was spectacular but very busy. There was a wait to get into the park and lots of cars/RVs in front of us.  The roads are narrow and people park vehicles on both sides of the road in many places.  In Zion, you travel to the bottom of the canyon. When we arrived at the Visitors' Center, there was not one parking place available, so we headed to the picnic area and had lunch. We learned that you can only go on a 7 mile stretch via shuttle bus, so we passed on that.  There is a 1.1 mile tunnel that you pass through on your way in.  You must meet certain height and width requirements in order to go through with other traffic.  If you are oversized (wider than 7 feet and higher than 11 feet, you pay an extra $15 and they allow you to pass through the tunnel while all traffic is stopped.  We met the criteria and went through, but there were no other cars/RVs in there at the time.  

We decided that we would add one more night at Bryce and then head to Canyonlands.
