Unfortunately for most tourist they get caught up in this zoo from Mount Carmel with RIDICULOUS park entry fees of $12 per vehicle including motorcycles! This is Utah's first national park with annual visitation of 2.61 million visitors a year. Most cars can park in Springdale which is on the edge of Zion Park and take a shuttle into the shops and scenic areas, which are free. The shuttles have operated daily from the beginning of April though the end of October since 2000. Personal vehicle access is only permitted from November to late March on the Scenic Drive except for Upper Lodge employees and guests.

The scenic route heading north from Mount Carmel Road has shuttle buses carting 3 million visitors a year has some beauty that can't be found by driving Mount Carmel. So, if you're going to pay to drive the 19 mile road, guess you might as well make a day of it and take a shuttle up. As far as our tours go, there isn't enough time for it unless we modified some other area out of the picture or as mentioned go in the winter months.

It cost three of us $35 to drive down this road...

So, what does a person do to enjoy Zion from the seat of a bike in the warmer months? The plan...

Visit Zion's Hidden Treasures, come back around to Mount Carmel, spend the night, take the free shuttle up scenic pass if you'd like more time in the park.

However, the real beauty of Zion is not driving Mount Carmel Road as seen in the video above but IN THE SCENIC areas and as you can see from the photos below aren't many cars if any at all :) Zion's Hidden Treasures...

Zion's Hidden Treasures...

OOOoo Careful wiffee, don't get hit by that car :)

Well now, shall we go left or right? :)...
