Annual Trail Closures (June 1 - Sept 30)
For the safety of guests, staff, and local rescue services, many of the park's trails will be closed June 1-September 30.
**Trails that remain OPEN are:
Mouse's Tank
Rainbow Vista
Elephant Rock
Balancing Rock
All of the park's public roadways will also remain OPEN.
Trails that will be CLOSED are:
White Domes Loop
Fire Wave/Seven Wonders Loop/Pastel Canyon/Pink Canyon
Pinnacles Loop
Prospect Trail
Arrowhead Trail
Natural Arch Trail (Arch Rock remains open)
Charlie's Spring
These trails have a history of frequent medical calls, search and rescue missions, and fatalities during this time of year. Unfortunately, the demand is more than we are able to safely manage.
**Hiking in high heat is dangerous even on shorter trails. We do not recommend hiking in temperatures above 85F. Staying hydrated and replacing electrolytes is extremely important. Prepare for the heat and for unexpected mishaps.
Your life is important!
