Park Shuttle
Ride With Us!
Bryce Canyon is one of many busy national parks that has a mass
transit system to minimize vehicle congestion and the resulting
impacts that jeopardize the very things we all treasure about national
parks. Although using our shuttle system is NOT mandatory, by riding
our buses you will show usthat you support our efforts to keep our
parking lots from growing any larger, to keep our pure air as clean as
possible, and to provide enough room in our little park for everyone
to experience the magic ofBryce Canyon.
How to use the Shuttle
Using the Bryce Canyon Shuttle is easy and convenient. If you are not
staying overnight inside the park ateither the Bryce Canyon Lodge or
North or Sunset Campground , we strongly encourage you to leave your
vehicle outside the park. Please park and board the shuttle at the
Shuttle Staging area (near Ruby's Inn) or at Ruby's Campground. To
make planning yourvisit even easier, you can also take a trip on our
Shuttle eTour before you arrive.
There is no extra fee to use the shuttle system in the developed area
as indicated by the stops listed below. Paying your $25 entrance fee
to Bryce Canyon entitles you to unlimited use of the Bryce Canyon
Shuttle buses. AnnualPasses waive the entrance fee to not only this
park but all other National Park Service Areas and other Federal lands
that may have fees, across the entire country. If you do not already
have one of these annual passes they can be purchased at the entrance
to the park.

Following are answers to some of the most commonly asked
questionsabout the shuttle:
*. Is a shuttle really needed? Duringthe summer, much of the magic of
Bryce Canyon is lost when visitors spend time waiting in lines to
enter parking lots, circling parking lots looking for empty spaces, or
fighting traffic in congested areas. There is one parking space for
every four cars entering the park. Other alternatives considered, such
as enlarging parking areas or limiting the number of visitors in the
park, have their own negativeconsequences.
*. Can I get on and off the shuttle at different stops? Yes, but only
at designated stops. The shuttle serves the park's main amphitheater
with stops at the Shuttle Staging Area near Ruby's Inn, Ruby's
Campground, Bryce Canyon Shuttle Building/Parking, Bryce Canyon
Visitor Center, Sunset Point, Sunset Campground, Bryce Point,
Inspiration Point, Bryce Canyon Lodge, Sunrise Point and North
Campground.

Canyon Shuttle stops at eight locations in the park. The transfer
between loops is made at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center. You may geton
and off as often as you like. Riding the shuttle is free.

Canyonand the town of Springdale on April 1 and will run through the

Utah
Length: 51.0 mi (82.1 km )
Time to Allow: Allow two hours to drive the byway.
Fees: There are no fees to drive the byway; however, campgrounds and
attractions may charge fees.
Scenic Byway 143 - Utah's Patchwork Parkway serves as the western
gateway from the arid GreatBasin of western Utah to a breathtaking
route across Utah's high plateaus, connecting to Heritage Highway 89
and Scenic Byway 12, Utah's first All American Road. Historic pioneer
communities "bookmark" each end of the route, once traveled by ancient
inhabitants to hunt, fish, and gather tools and food.
Early settlers desperate for food once crossed the plateau in
midwinter using handmade quilts laidatop deep snow to reach
settlementsto the west. Such quilts are reminders of the patchwork of
the byway's unparalleled scenery, vibranthistory and natural beauty
unequaledacross the country.
Today, travelers of Utah's PatchworkParkway begin their trek in
historic communities where examples of earlyMormon pioneer settlement
and culture abound. The communities of Parowan and Panguitch contain a
large concentration of 19th-century architecture and historic sites.
The entire original Panguitch townsite is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. These two town sites were previously home
to ancient native peoples who left behind an abundance of petroglyphs,
pictographs, and more. Additional evidence indicates that these early
inhabitants followed ancient migration routes into the high elevation
expanses capped by Cedar Breaks National Monument, where vistas extend
for hundreds of miles. This high elevation landscape is home to Brian
Head, Utah's highest elevation community and southernmost ski area, as
well as other year-round resorts.
Very few routes in the U.S. exhibit a4,500-foot elevation change that
crosses six major life zones in 51 miles. The route skirts lava flows
only a few thousand years old beforepassing Panguitch Lake, a
spectacular, large mountain lake renowned for its excellent fishing.
This topmost rise of the geological "Grand Staircase" showcases the
2,000-foot-deep Cedar Breaks amphitheater with its vibrant hues
ofpink, orange, red, and other coral colors carved from the Claron
Formation. The plateau provides views that extend for hundreds of
miles and are home to some of the darkest night skies in the country.
