Zion would be worse without shuttles - there is no way to accommodate the mass of people coming in cars without shuttles.

- JKCalhoun 4y agoRented bicycles at Zion, the shuttle will take you and your bike to the end of the park. We hiked and biked our way back across the day. (Am I the baddie?)
- haswell 4y agoI almost did exactly this, and next time I’m there, I probably will! No way I’m riding those shuttles again. Nothing quite shatters the peace and awe that comes with the scenery like a kid screaming and kicking non stop while his parents act helpless.
- haswell 4y agoBut that’s kind of the point. Zion is built like an amusement park, so masses of people come. Now shuttles are necessary, and now it feels even more like an amusement park. Many parks require you to take long hikes to see the most amazing scenery. I think it’s fine for some parks to provide this level of accessibility, but I do hope it remains limited to a subset for this reason.
- dreamcompiler 4y agoZion is a zoo of people, but it's so freaking huge and gorgeous that the crowds don't diminish it, IMHO. I despise crowds but Zion is worthwhile anyway.
