About this route

Highway 9 from La Verkin through Springdale into Zion National Park, up the switchbacks and through the Zion–Mount Carmel tunnel, then across the slickrock country on the east side to Mount Carmel Junction. Short, slow and busy, but the switchbacks and the red cliffs make up for it. There is a park entrance fee; larger vehicles need an escort through the tunnel, motorcycles do not.

Check road conditions, closures and opening dates before you ride.
