Checking the UDOT road report
The Springdale entrance cameras and the east-side drive, each with a 24-hour rewind — about an hour from Duck Creek Village
The Zion webcam: Temples and Towers of the Virgin
The park’s own camera at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center looks up at the Towers of the Virgin and the West Temple. It has been offline for long stretches, so we show its last frame with the date it was taken instead of calling it live. For a live view of the south entrance, use the Springdale road cameras below.

Live cameras on the road to Zion
In drive order from Duck Creek Village: the village camera, Long Valley Junction where you turn south, and SR-9 near the east entrance climb. Images refresh every minute.

Zion entrance cameras: Springdale and the south entrance
UDOT’s cameras along SR-9 in Springdale look at the road into the south entrance, which is where the park’s entrance queue forms. In order from the entrance outward: Lion Boulevard at the park boundary, 200 South in town, and 2400 South at the far end of Springdale. Each has the 24-hour rewind, so you can see how the line built this morning.

The drive: what the road actually does
From Duck Creek Village you take SR-14 east to Long Valley Junction, turn south on US-89 along the Sevier River through Glendale and Orderville to Mt. Carmel Junction, then west on SR-9 up to Zion’s east entrance and the Zion–Mt. Carmel tunnel. Plan on about an hour to the gate.
This is the drive where elevation works for you: the village sits at 8,400 ft while Zion Canyon bottoms out near 4,000 ft. When we are snowy on the mountain, US-89 south is usually just wet and Zion is often dry — winter is genuinely one of the best times to enter from the east side.
The one segment to check on the cameras is the first 15 minutes of SR-14 down to the junction, which carries the mountain weather. Past Long Valley it is a low, sunny highway drive.
Winter driving to Zion: and the tunnel rule year-round
US-89 and SR-9 stay open all year and rarely hold snow. The bigger constraint is the Zion–Mt. Carmel tunnel: since June 7, 2026, RVs and trailers over 35 ft 9 in long (50 ft with a trailer), 7 ft 10 in wide including mirrors, or 11 ft 4 in tall are prohibited from the entire Zion–Mt. Carmel Highway — the paid escort program no longer exists. Oversized rigs detour via Highway 59 toward Hurricane and Jacob Lake, or Highway 20 north of Cedar City. Check the NPS large-vehicles page before towing anything through the east entrance. UDOT’s signs on SR-9 post the same size limits you’ll see on our alert strip when active.
Zion drive questions we hear at the desk
Short, honest answers from people who make this drive year-round.
Is there a live Zion webcam?
The park’s Temples and Towers of the Virgin camera at the visitor center has been offline for long stretches; we show its most recent frame with the date so you are not misled. For a live picture of Zion right now, the UDOT cameras in Springdale show SR-9 at the south entrance, and the east-side cameras show the drive from Duck Creek. Every camera on this page can be dragged back 24 hours.
Is the road to Zion open right now?
US-89 and SR-9 are open year-round outside of rare weather events, and the east entrance stays open all winter. The strip above shows live UDOT conditions and alerts for the corridor, and the park alert strip on this page surfaces anything Zion itself has posted — that combination answers the question in one glance.
Are there live cameras on the drive to Zion?
Yes — the cameras on this page cover the route: the Duck Creek Village camera where you start, US-89 at Long Valley Junction where you turn south, and SR-9 near the east side of the park. All are live UDOT images that refresh about once a minute.
Can my RV or trailer use the Zion tunnel?
Only if it fits the NPS limits: no longer than 35 ft 9 in (50 ft combined with a trailer), no wider than 7 ft 10 in including mirrors, no taller than 11 ft 4 in, and under 50,000 lbs. Since June 7, 2026 there is no escort option — anything bigger is banned from the entire highway between Canyon Junction and the east entrance and must detour via Highway 59 or Highway 20. If you are towing, measure before choosing the east entrance — or ask us and we will check with you.
Is winter a good time to drive to Zion from Duck Creek?
One of the best. Zion sits 4,000 ft lower than the village, so you trade our snow for mild canyon weather in an hour. The east entrance is dramatically quieter than Springdale, and winter light on the sandstone is the photographers’ secret. Just check the SR-14 cameras for the first stretch down the mountain.
