NOTE: Other maps will be posted here soon. - They are currently under development. The map below is from the State of Utah Road Map showing the location of SR-9 and the State of Utah designated 'Zion Park Scenic Byway' (a state scenic byway).

State Route 9 (SR-9) is a state highway, serving local communities along the Virgin River, Zion National Park and Kane County east of the Park. It starts at the western terminus at exit 16 on I-15. It passes through Zion National Park, ending at the eastern junction with US-89 at Mt. Carmel Junction. There is an entrance fee to travel through Zion National Park, but the highway is open to private vehicles year-round. A separate fee is required for vehicles 7'10" wide and/or 11'4" tall or larger. This fee pays for a ranger to stop traffic from the other side of the Zion - Mt. Carmel Tunnel to allow the larger vehicles to pass through. There is a smaller tunnel in Zion National Park that does not require an escort.

The CMP being developed is looking specifically at the section of SR-9 from the Junction of SR-9 and SR-17 in LaVerkin City on the west end to the east entrance of Zion National Park at the east, a corridor being called: 'Zion Scenic Byway'.
