In an effort to “flatten the curve” and “slow the spread” of the coronavirus in Utah both Arches and Canyonland National Parks will be closed to the public.

The closure of both parks starts Saturday, March 28th until further notice. Visitors with camping reservations impacted by this closure may cancel or reschedule online at www.recreation.gov or by calling (877) 444-6777.


Zion, Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reed are still partially open to locals but the governor asks that people obey social distancing guidelines. *Note: Check the link for each park’s website, several trails and facilities are closed for COVID-19 precautions
