State Route 9 enters Zion National Park at the gateway town of Springdale and runs beneath the park's immense Navajo sandstone cliffs along the Virgin River. The dead-end Zion Canyon Scenic Drive deeper in the canyon is served by shuttle bus most of the year to ease congestion, reaching trailheads for the Narrows and Angels Landing. The sheer thousand-foot walls of Zion Canyon are among the most dramatic in the national park system.
