Starting at Zion National Park Visitors Center Drive into the park and follow the signs to the Mount Carmel Tunnel.

Proceed through this 1 mile long hand cut tunnel toward the East Entrance. Upon exiting the tunnel, if you’re feeling adventurous you should take a peek at the Canyon Overlook. It’s a short hike worth the pit stop.

Back in your car, keep heading east past the checkerboard mesa and take in the beauty of this lesser known side of the park.

You will pass the ranger station, exiting the official boundary of the park. Continue on for 2.4 miles and turn left onto North Fork County Road.

You will wind 5.2 miles through the countryside to the north east border of the park, turning left onto Pine Angle Road.

Continue 0.5 miles, passing by the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.

Once you pass the ranch, the road will become a well maintained dirt road.

Continue until you see Fir Road and turn left, keeping left at the fork, your plot will be 0.2 miles down Fir Road on the right.

Get out, stretch your legs, don't forget to sign the guest register, and enjoy your piece of Zion!
