July 12, 2023 An easy ride from Springdale - NP entry fee or pass required. A wonderful climb up very gentle switchbacks with fantastic views. Lots of traffic - big busses, lots of RVs, vans, motorcycles, etc ... slow speed limit and courteous drivers so no issues. Plan to stop and take pictures ! Not a fast decent because the road isn't very steep. Combine this with a ride up the Zion Park scenic road. Breathtaking scenery.
