Do I need a timed-entry reservation for park entry?

No. General park entry does not require timing reservations; however, Angels Landing and The Subway require advance permits.

Are Angels Landing and The Subway permits tied to backcountry rules?

Yes. Angels Landing and The Subway require permits obtained in advance; backcountry access uses separate permit desks at Zion Canyon Wilderness Desk.

Is parking inside Zion always available?

No. Parking is limited and often fills by mid-morning; use the Springdale shuttle to access the canyon.

Can I bring dogs on trails?

Dogs are restricted to developed areas like parking lots and paved paths; they are not allowed on trails or in the backcountry.

What should I know about road access and closures?

Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is shuttle-only for much of the year; weather and parking can close the road to private vehicles. The Zion-Mount Carmel Highway/tunnel has height/length restrictions and ongoing seasonal constraints.
