The daily quota WAS 12. It is currently 12. Only half of these can be reserved in advance - thus the reservation system shows only 6 available.

Maximum party size is 6.

During certain times of the year Zion allows more people down some of the slots. I *think* it is 20 per day, 14 can be reserved in advanced. I think it has something to do with nesting season for owls, but I don't know for certain.

Looks like they moved Behunin up to 14, from 12.

Yehaw!!

The limit on Behunin changes depending on the month. It is 20 per day, 14 reservable 6 walk-up in the fall/winter and 12 per day 6&6 in the summer. I think it is lower from march to sept but I may be off a bit on the dates. The group size limit is the same all year though (6). It changed Jan 2008 with the new management plan.
