"Long day out from Vegas but absolutely brilliant. The drive through the Zion-Mt. Carmel tunnel was stunning, and we had just enough time to walk the Riverside Trail. Bryce's hoodoos blew my mind. Boxed lunch was basic but did the job."

"We did the 3-day camping tour and it was the highlight of our summer. Sleeping under the stars after hiking Zion was magical. Our guide was super knowledgeable, and adding Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon made it a perfect road trip."

"Great way to see the parks without driving yourself. The minivan was comfy and the AC worked great. Be aware of the $100 non-resident fee though, that was a bit of a shock at the gate. Still, the views at Bryce amphitheater were unreal."

"Used the self-guided audio tour while riding the free Zion shuttle. It was awesome to learn about the history of the canyon and the Ancestral Puebloans while looking up at the massive red cliffs. Just make sure you download it on WiFi first!"

"The GuideAlong audio app was a lifesaver! We drove our rental car and the GPS triggered the stories perfectly. It told us exactly where to pull over for the best photos of Checkerboard Mesa. Totally worth the $26."

"Took the 2-day tour hitting Zion, Bryce, and Antelope Canyon. It’s fast-paced but you see so much. The hotel included in the price was clean and comfortable. Our driver navigated the winding roads like a pro so we could just relax and take photos."

Things to Know Before Booking

Planning a trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon requires a bit of preparation, especially regarding park fees, tour pacing, and seasonal weather changes.

Tour Types Available

You can choose from full-day express trips from Las Vegas, 2-to-3-day immersive tours with camping or lodging, or self-guided audio apps if you have your own rental car. Shuttle transfers are also available if you just need a ride between Vegas and the parks.

National Park Fees

Most guided tours include standard entrance fees. However, non-U.S. residents must pay an additional $100 per person fee upon arrival at the parks. Legal U.S. residents must bring a government ID to waive this surcharge.

Pacing and Itinerary

Single-day tours from Las Vegas involve a lot of driving (around 13-14 hours total) and typically allow about 2 hours of exploration at each park. If you want to do major hikes like The Narrows, you will need a multi-day tour or a self-driven trip.

Luggage Restrictions

Space on tour vans is limited. Most day tours restrict guests to one backpack-sized bag per person. Extra luggage may incur a $10 fee or be entirely prohibited, so plan to store large bags at your Vegas hotel.

Permits for Major Hikes

If you are traveling independently and want to hike past Scout Lookout on Angels Landing, you must win a permit through the National Park Service lottery. Guided day tours do not include time or permits for this hike.

Cancellation Policies

Most 1-day guided tours and audio apps offer a full refund if canceled 24 hours in advance. Multi-day tours with lodging or camping require much more notice, typically 6 to 14 days, to get a full refund.

Weather and Clothing

Desert temperatures fluctuate wildly. Dress in layers, wear sturdy walking shoes, and bring sun protection. Summer temperatures in Zion frequently exceed 100°F, while Bryce Canyon sits at a higher elevation and can be quite chilly.

Plan Your Visit to Zion

Zion National Park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year-round. However, facility hours change based on the season.

  • Zion Canyon Visitor Center: Open 8:00 am to 7:00 pm during the summer.
  • Zion Human History Museum: Open 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
  • Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel: Open to large vehicles requiring an escort from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm daily.

The free Zion Canyon Shuttle operates from March through November, running every 5 to 15 minutes. During this season, personal vehicles are not allowed on the scenic drive.

Zion is located in southwestern Utah, making it highly accessible from several major hubs.

  • From Las Vegas (LAS): It is a 163-mile drive (about 2 hours and 45 minutes). Take I-15 North to exit 27, then follow UT-9 East into Springdale.
  • From Salt Lake City (SLC): A 307-mile drive south on I-15, taking about 4.5 hours.
  • Public Transit: The SunTran Zion Route connects St. George, UT to Springdale. The 42-mile bus ride costs $5 each way and runs Monday through Saturday.

Spring and Fall: The absolute best months to visit are October and November. The autumn colors are vibrant, the temperatures are mild, and the heavy summer crowds begin to thin out.

Summer (June - September): June is the driest month, making it the safest time to hike deep slot canyons like The Narrows. However, July through September brings extreme heat (over 100°F) and dangerous monsoon thunderstorms that cause sudden flash floods.

Winter: While beautifully dusted with snow, winter brings freezing temperatures and ice, making trails like Angels Landing incredibly treacherous.

Zion National Park is highly accommodating for visitors with mobility needs.

  • Shuttles: The free Zion Canyon Shuttle is equipped with a lift and can accommodate up to two wheelchairs per bus.
  • Trails: The Pa'rus Trail (3.5 miles) and Riverside Walk (2.2 miles) are fully paved and ideal for wheelchairs, strollers, and slow walkers.
  • Driving: Visitors with medical needs can request a "Yellow Permit" at the visitor center to drive their personal vehicles on the scenic drive during shuttle season.

Parking: The Zion Canyon Visitor Center has over 350 free parking spaces, but they usually fill up by 8:00 am during peak season. Overflow parking is available in the town of Springdale for $15 to $25 per day, where you can catch the free town shuttle to the park entrance.

Water and Food: The desert is extremely dry. Water refill stations are located at the visitor centers, campgrounds, Zion Lodge, and select shuttle stops. You should carry at least one gallon of water per person per day.

To protect the park's fragile ecosystem of over 8,000 years of human history, strict rules are enforced:

  • Drones: Remote-controlled aircraft are strictly prohibited everywhere in the park.
  • Pets: Dogs are only allowed on the paved Pa'rus Trail. They must be on a leash under 6 feet and are banned from all other trails and shuttles.
  • Water Safety: The Virgin River contains toxic cyanobacteria blooms. Swimming or submerging your head is highly dangerous, and pets can die within 15 minutes of exposure.
  • Permits: You must have a pre-approved permit to hike past Scout Lookout on Angels Landing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Las Vegas tours include the National Park entrance fees?

Most guided tours include the standard entrance fees. However, non-U.S. residents aged 16 and older must pay an additional $100 per person fee upon arrival. U.S. residents must bring a government ID to waive this charge.

How much time will I actually spend in the parks on a day tour?

On a typical 13 to 14-hour day tour from Las Vegas, you can expect to spend about 2 hours exploring Zion and another 2 hours at Bryce Canyon. The rest of the time is spent traveling through the scenic Southwest landscape.

Can I hike Angels Landing or The Narrows on a guided day tour?

No. Day tours from Las Vegas do not provide enough time for these strenuous, multi-hour hikes. Furthermore, Angels Landing requires an advance lottery permit, and The Narrows requires specialized water gear.

How do the self-guided audio tours work?

After purchasing, you download an app (like GuideAlong or Action Tour Guide) to your smartphone. The app uses your phone's GPS to automatically play stories, history, and directions as you drive or ride the park shuttle, even without cell service.

Are meals included on the tours?

It depends on the tour. Full-day guided tours often include bottled water and a boxed lunch (with sandwich options). Multi-day tours frequently include breakfast and lunch, but you will usually need to purchase your own dinners.

What should I wear for a tour of Zion and Bryce?

Dress in layers. Bryce Canyon is at a higher elevation and can be chilly, while Zion's desert floor can exceed 100°F in the summer. Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and bring plenty of sun protection.

Can I bring my luggage on the tour bus?

Luggage space is very limited. Most day tours restrict guests to one small bag or backpack. If you bring larger luggage, you may be charged an extra $10 fee, or you may be denied boarding.

What is the cancellation policy if my plans change?

For most 1-day guided tours and audio apps, you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Multi-day tours involving camping or hotels usually require 6 to 14 days' notice for a refund.

Are the tours wheelchair accessible?

While Zion National Park has accessible shuttles and paved trails like the Pa'rus Trail, the tour vehicles themselves vary. You should contact the tour operator directly to ensure their vans or mini-coaches can accommodate your specific mobility device.

Will I see the Grand Canyon on these tours?

Only if you book a multi-day tour. Single-day tours from Las Vegas typically only have time to visit Zion and Bryce Canyon. To add the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, or Monument Valley, you'll need to book a 2- or 3-day itinerary.
