Hey folks, I'm heading out to Zion this week for some climbing and canyonneering with family. Is there a local/ easy way to get through the mt. Carmel tunnel without a car? Current plan is to hitchhike my way through after dropping of my car at the exit of pine creek canyon.

If there is someone local that could be persuaded to help I'd love to buy you some beer to say thanks.

Getting a ride through is super easy. I’ve had to thumb it a few times after canyoneering and I think the first or second car has picked me up every time. Just look for someone with a truck.

I hitchhiked through the tunnel after doing Pine Creek Canyon.  Took 10 minutes or so for a car to stop.
