Zion National Park backcountry permit

[Nick Abdo]

Hey everyone I'm a new member here and I have a question hopefully someone can answer. I'm planning my first backcountry camping trip to Zion National Park in June if I purchase the America the beautiful park pass does that cover the permit I need for Zion or is there a separate permit I need? Thanks in advance.

You'll need a separate permit for back country. At least I did in 2011. They want to track you separately in case something happens. Also check their runoff. If they have heavy runoff they will close parts of the park due to the Virgin River being too high. Give them a call around May to check and then again about a week prior to your trip.
