Zion National Park Self Driving Tour in Zion National Park booking from $10.00

Zion National Park Self Driving Tour

Overview

Explore Zion National Park with a self-guided audio tour! Zion’s raw landscape has it all: staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. See it all while driving and taking the park shuttle. This GPS-enabled audio tour follows along and tells you what you’re seeing. You’ll see and learn about world-famous sights like Angel’s Landing and the Narrows.

Part of Zion is only accessible by shuttle for most of the year. So plan to purchase one tour per person in your group unless choosing to share headphones while on the shuttle. If you only plan to visit the driveable part of Zion, purchase just one tour per group (everyone in the car listens together).

This audio tour is NOT a park entrance ticket, shuttle reservation, or a special driving permit.

Once you book, we'll send you two things: a unique password and an app. Download the app onto your phone, enter the password & download the tour.

No expiration — The tour comes with lifetime validity!

What To Expect

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a southwest Utah nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river, partly through deep chasms, is Zion Narrows wading hike.

Springdale Visitor Center

Welcome to Zion National Park! This raw landscape has it all: staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. We’ll explore it all today.

Zion Canyon Visitor Center

Continue straight. Just before the bridge, you’ll see a path on the left. That’s the start of the Pa’rus Trail. And just after the bridge is another path -- the Watchman Trail. Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.

Zion Human History Museum

While we don’t know too much about those Ice Age hunters, newer residents left their stories behind. Around 300 BCE, people started settling down here and farming. They grew squash and corn, and gradually learned how to better cultivate the land and survive the unforgiving climate. One group, the Fremont, cultivated a drought- and cold-resistant species of corn which could thrive even at high altitudes.

Court of the Patriarchs

Whew, what a view! Those three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. And who are these patriarchs? Well, a local Christian minister named them after three figures from the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right.

Emerald Pools

First, bring lots of water! You may think you’ve got enough… but you probably don’t. This might seem obvious, but Utah’s heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a fun vacation. Second, make sure you don’t overtax yourself! Hiking around here is going to be more difficult than you might be used to, thanks to the elevation. Be sure you don’t embark on journeys you’re not certain you’ll be able to finish.

Angel's Landing

This park has a ton of great trails, but Angel’s Landing stands in a league of its own. Those who complete the hike describe it as a breathtaking experience like no other, offering impossible views and a major adrenaline rush.

Weeping Rock Trail

A continuous stream of water trickles down its face from a stream far above

Temple of Sinawava Trail

To see the Narrows, you’ll want to follow the paved Riverwalk all the way to the end. It’s a flat, easy walk, full of beautiful greenery and towering natural skyscrapers. But before you set off, let’s talk about the Temple of Sinawava.

Canyon Overlook Trail

The Canyon Overlook Trail is one of East Zion’s finest -- even though it’s short and easy. Why? Simple -- the spectacular views from the top.

Checkerboard Mesa

Look at that mesa rising into the sky. Notice anything peculiar? As you get closer, you should be able to make out a strange grid of criss-crossed lines all over it. It looks a bit like a checkerboard, which is how it gets the name Checkerboard Mesa!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Wendy! The tour will start from where you left off if the app runs in the background, but if you kill it and start everything again, it will start over. I'm delighted that my tour of Zion added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

I downloaded the app when I had good connection. When I got there, went to the Zion visitor center and ranger helped me connect to the internet, but as soon as I started hiking down a trail, no internet. But when I got to the next stop, the audio tour automatically came on! And it was interesting and helpful.

Very disappointed. Private vehicles were not allowed to travel the route consequently The money was wasted.

Response from Host

Yes, private vehicles are not permitted in Zion, as stated in the main description, instruction emails, reminder emails, and so on. I have 100 more self-guided tours for additional parks, scenic drives, towns, and historic places in the United States – perhaps you'll get to explore them next time! Also, as a reminder, the tour you purchased is valid for a lifetime. As a result, you may listen to it at home or at your next visit.
