Zion National Park has stated they will be banning RV’s from main highway in 2026, written by Salt Lake Tribune. Zion National Park tells drivers of large RV’s, travel trailers and tour buses in the near future, starting in mid 206 will no longer allow oversized vehicles to travel the Zion=Mt.Carmel Highway, the scenic byway that bisects southern Utah’s top tourist draw. Instead, drivers of all vehicles heavier than 5o,ooo pounds, longer than 35 feet 9 inches, taller than 11 feet 4 inches or wider than 7 feet 10 inches will be rerouted to roads around the park. Due to the switchbacks and heavy vehicles, it has become a safety issue. This may change, as it is a couple years ahead, so keep aware.
