This trail is located next to the main parking lots for the park so you should be able to just walk there without needing to board the shuttle. But since most of the trails are in the main canyon you'll need one for those. If you want to find others to hike without a shuttle check out some of the trails located along the Mt. Carmel entrance. There's limited parking along the road but no need for shuttles. Happy travels, - @wanderingwithustwo linktr.ee/wanderingwithustwo
