Kolob Canyons is part of Zion National Park, at Exit 40 on Interstate 15. It is 40 miles north of Zion Canyon, about an hour's drive, and 17 miles south of Cedar City.

Scenic Drive and Trails

The five-mile Kolob Canyons Road gives views of the crimson finger canyons and is open to personal vehicles year-round, though it may close in winter for snow or ice. The area has more than 20 miles of hiking trails, all out-and-back. Groups are limited to 12 people with the same affiliation, larger affiliated groups may hike only the Timber Creek Overlook Trail, and pets are not allowed on wilderness trails.

Visitor Center

The Kolob Canyons Visitor Center is open 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m., with restrooms and water filling stations. Wilderness permits are not issued here; they come from the Zion Canyon Visitor Center.

Fees

The park is open 24 hours a day, year-round. A private vehicle pass is $35 and is good for one to seven days, and a Zion annual pass is $70. Non-US residents 16 and older pay an additional $100 per person unless they enter with an annual or America the Beautiful pass.
