Another timetable from the Union Pacific 1957 Summer Tours series, the Utah Parks Special was used by the "Z" tour of Zion, Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon National Parks, including those tourists who were on the "Z-C" and "Z-BC" combination tours who would use this train's connection to the City of St. Louis to join the California portion of their tours in Las Vegas or Riverside, California respectively. The Utah Parks Special was also used by the "ZLV" and "YTZ" tourists to return from the parks as far as Salt Lake City on their homeward bound leg; as well the route of this train was used by the "YTZ" tourists connecting from Salt Lake to Lund and by the "ZLV" group heading from Las Vegas to Lund although it appears that special movements were used; the "YTZ" group left Salt Lake at 9:15 a.m and arrived Lund at 2:30 p.m. while the "ZLV" tourists left Las Vegas at 6:45 a.m. and arrived Lund at 12:45 p.m. 

This train carried no on-board food service or lounge, but the description of the "Z" tour states that breakfast was available at El Escalante Hotel, "just a few steps from the station," upon arrival in Cedar City. Pullman passengers could occupy their sleepers until 7:00 a.m.; the motor buses left for Zion National Park at 8:30 a.m.
