Utah, USA: Traffic Changes Coming To Zion-Mount Carmel Highway At Zion National Park
Beginning in 2026, restrictions being placed on the size of vehicles traveling the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway at Zion National Park in Utah will lead to some vehicles being rerouted to other entrances and exits of the national park.

16 Restaurants to Visit on Your Trip to Zion National Park
In just under three hours you can leave Las Vegas behind and be smack dab in the middle of Utah’s first national park. With a scenic drive that hugs the Virgin River, stunning red sandstone cliffs, and epic hikes that include Angel’s Landing and The Narrows, Zion National Park has become one of the nation’s most popular parks. Zion experiences all four seasons. Fall foliage can be seen from October until early November, and winter storms can bring snow to the area. When it comes to dining, Springdale, Utah, is the fueling point for everything from quick bites to leisurely meals.
