Beginning December 11, take the FREE hiker shuttle from Coronado National Memorial Visitor Center to Montezuma Pass. The shuttle service runs every Thursday and Friday, one time, at 8:30 am. Join a ranger or park volunteer for a short orientation program at Montezuma Pass and take in the views. You can either hike the three mile Joes Canyon Trail back to the visitor center and your vehicle, or ride the shuttle back to the visitor center. Shuttle service is subject to weather and staff availability and may be canceled without notice.

Shuttle is free; larger groups of 6 or more should call the park to arrange a special shuttle well in advance. Special shuttle requests are dependent on staffing and may not be available on busy days (holidays and Saturdays).

<li>If you plan to ride with children please provide your own regulation child safety seats. Ranger and staff reserve the right to deny passage due to unsafe equipment. </li>

Seats are available on a first-come first-served basis. Check in at the visitor center to sign-up the day of the shuttle - the visitor center opens at 8:00am. Each rider must sign liability waiver before riding the shuttle. Due to capacity limits of the shuttle van, we cannot accommodate large groups (hiking groups, etc). The van holds 11 passengers. To arrange a shuttle service for a special group please contact the park for more information.
