Zion National Park roads question
I've read that the east entrance to Zion National Park can be challenging but what about the road the the shuttle runs on (Zion Scenic Drive, I think)? Are there steep drop offs with it also? Scary for someone with a fear of heights? Thanks!

There aren't any drop offs on the road the shuttle runs on, it follows the bottom of the canyon.
The east entrance only has some drops for a little ways, from the tunnel exit as it switchbacks down to the canyon floor. It's an excellent road, hard to think of it as being scary and I am very afraid of heights!

The East entrance doesn't have anything as scary as Rt 12 in Escalante, UT.
There are a few switchbacks but nothing to be scared of. The biggest problem with the east entrance is that they stop traffic whenever a trailer has to go thru. The tunnel is only high enough at the center.
