Before You Go
Arrive early to secure parking
Parking fills quickly, especially during peak seasons; plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your tour to check in smoothly.
Bring plenty of water
Even with e-bike assistance, Zion’s dry climate means staying hydrated is crucial during your ride.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Traction and comfort are key on paved yet occasionally uneven surfaces around the canyon.
Prepare for tunnel delays
If entering from the east side, add 30–45 minutes to your travel time for potential backups through Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel.
