Utah Highway 9
Zion-Mt. Carmel Hwy and Mt. Carmel Scenic Byway
The Zion Mt. Carmel Highway (SR-9), the road in and through Zion National Park does not ever close and is traveled in your personal vehicle, but large campers, RV's and busses must only travel this road when escorts are present. See the information below for oversized vehicles. A fee is required even if you are just passing through the park. If you are not interested in seeing Zion you can detour in Hurricane and take AZ-389 to
US-89. For those that have a high clearance, reliable vehicle, you could even cut through the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, depending on your destination.

The Zion Canyon Scenic Byway is a short 6-mile road that the Zion Canyon shuttle travels, taking visitors into Zion Canyon most of the year. In the winter, when the shuttle shuts down, then you can drive your personal vehicle into the canyon.
