Bryce Canyon Shuttle
On April 1st, the park will begin operation of the free Bryce Amphitheater shuttle, providing service to regular stops including the park’s most popular overlooks at Bryce, Inspiration, Sunset, and Sunrise points; the Visitor Center; and amenities in Bryce Canyon City. Shuttles will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Safety modifications to normal operations include: shuttle capacity limited to 20 passengers at a time, visitor groups requested to sit together to encourage distancing between groups, free masks available for passengers, and passenger entry and exit via rear doors only to accommodate plexiglass barriers in place to protect shuttle drivers.
RVs and vehicles over 20 feet / 6 m are strongly encouraged to park at the shuttle station to utilize this service or the Shared Use Path, as parking for larger vehicles within the park is extremely limited. Those choosing to drive larger vehicles should expect the possibility of short-term restrictions at popular Bryce Amphitheater parking lots during peak times. Parking these vehicles in the Visitor Center Additional Parking lot and utilizing the Shared-Use-Path is also a great option.
