Zion National Park Biking
|
In
the past most cyclists found the automobile congestion in Zion National Park to be too hazardous for riding. Thanks to the Zion
Canyon Shuttle System the park is now more bicycle friendly. One
may ride the Pa’ rus trail from the lower canyon and connect to
Zion Canyon Scenic Drive at Canyon Junction. The shuttle buses
are equipped with bike racks for those wishing to ride only part of the
way. Many cyclists enjoy riding the shuttle to the Temple of
Sinawava and cycling back down. Biking in Zion National Park is permitted but only on
established roads and the Pa’rus Trail. Cyclists must obey
traffic laws. Bicycles are not allowed on hiking trails or off-trail.
Ride defensively; automobile traffic is often heavy and drivers
may be distracted by the scenery. Riding through the Zion-Mt. Carmel
tunnel is prohibited. Bicycles must transported through the
tunnel by motor vehicle.
Mountain biking in the Zion National Park area has become a huge
attraction for Southern Utah. With plenty of red rock and mountain
trails, mountain biking is becoming very popular in the area.
