Zion Highway Closure Could Last Several Weeks

(Zion National Park, UT) — A section of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway could remain closed for several weeks. A major rockfall on September 30th covered the roadway, and a two-and-a-half-mile segment remains blocked. Crews have removed about half the debris, but forecast rain could slow the work. A seven-and-a-half-mile section has reopened, while travelers still need to use detours around the closed area. Zion officials urge visitors to plan extra travel time and check park alerts.
