Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Monument, Cedar Breaks, Kaibab
National Forest and the North Rim of Grand Canyon are reached via the
through service of the Union Pacific System by way of Lund, Utah, to
Cedar City, Utah, the railroad terminus. Lund is on the main line of the
Union Pacific to Southern California, 243 miles southwest of Salt Lake
City, 541 miles northeast of Los Angeles. From Lund a branch line of the
Union Pacific extends thirty-three miles southeastward to Cedar City.
During the season through sleeping cars are operated from Salt Lake City
to Cedar City and all through trains will stop at Lund, whence there is
direct connecting service to Cedar City.

Very low round-trip Summer Excursion Fares, with liberal limits and
stop-over privileges, are in effect during the season to Cedar City and
the scenic regions of Southern Utah. Likewise, low side-trip excursion
fares to Cedar City and return are available for Pacific Coast
passengers traveling via the Union Pacific System; $2.10 from Lund for
those en route to or from Southern California, and $13.75 from Salt Lake
City for those en route to San Francisco, the Pacific Northwest or
Yellowstone Park, during the season.
From Cedar City the Utah Parks Company, a subsidiary of the Union
Pacific System, operates on regular schedules during the season a fleet
of powerful eleven-passenger automobiles of the latest and most
comfortable design to Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon
National Monument. Automobiles of the Utah & Grand Canyon Transportation
Company (operated independently), also maintaining regular schedules,
connect at Zion Park and at Bryce Canyon for the Kaibab Forest and the
North Rim of Grand Canyon. There are good roads, constantly being
improved, between Cedar City and Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks and
Bryce Canyon National Monument; the roads between Zion Canyon and Bryce
Canyon and the North Rim of Grand Canyon are fair, safe to travel, and
are also undergoing improvement. Excellent lodges and camps are
maintained at places where stop-overs are desirable.
The schedules of the automobiles, fares, accommodation at lodges, etc.,
are shown in detail on pages 39 to 43. Advance reservations made through
any Union Pacific representative listed on page 47 will insure
accommodations in automobiles, as well as at the lodges and camps.
Inasmuch as the trip to Zion, Bryce and the North Rim of Grand Canyon is
one of unusual character, unlike, in fact, any other in the United
States, the traveler is urged to use the services of a Union Pacific
representative in planning his itinerary. This may be done by letter,
telephone or personal call; there is no charge for the service.
