  • Wenn du die Uhrzeit meinst, dann round around the clock, da die State Route 9 durch den Zion NP führt. Innerhalb des Parks ist der Zion Canyon Scenic Drive von Frühjahr bis Herbst für den Individualverkehr gesperrt.

    In diesem Sinne

  • Der Mount Carmel Highway Tunnel (#9) ist momentan geschlossen, kam gerade auf FB, mal schauen wie lange er zu ist. Sollte das länger dauern müssen wir doch den Umweg über Cedar Breaks fahren zum Bryce.

    The Zion- Mount Carmel Highway Tunnel is closed to all vehicles.There have been a series of rockfalls close to, but not on, the road approaching the tunnel from the west. The area of the rockfall is closed for maintenance.

  • Ich meine ich hätte am WoEnde gelesen, dass er wieder offen ist - ich drücke die Daumen.


    Glück Auf

  • Kolob Terrace Road construction; expect delays

    Zitat

    The final phase of the Kolob Terrace Road maintenance project to help preserve the asphalt will begin July 25. Motorists should expect delays at various times during the day.
    Kolob Terrace Road originates in Virgin, travels north and enters Zion National Park’s west boundaries. Traffic control crews, including flaggers, will be used during this chip seal project to stop traffic for up to 25 minute intervals during the day.
    Tony Ballard, Zion National Park road and trails foreman, said that chip seal is a process where rock chips are layered on top of hot oil over the existing surface in order to help preserve the life of the road.
    “It is a process we try to do every 7 to 8 years,” Ballard said in a press statement.
    People visiting the town of Springdale, the main Zion Canyon through the Scenic Drive, the Zion Lodge and the east portions of Zion National Park through the park’s south or east entrances will not be affected by the delays. Visitors accessing the Kolob Canyons section of the park from I-15 will likewise not be in the construction area.
    Motorists on Kolob Terrace Road are advised to slow down through the project area and be aware of the maintenance crews on the roadways. The chip seal project is anticipated to be completed by Aug. 1.

  • Zion to close Angels Landing for maintenance

    Zitat

    Zion National Park managers are closing off Angels Landing, one of its most popular and heavily-used trails, for maintenance the first week of October.
    The maintenance work, which is scheduled to take a week, would start with a closure at 7 a.m. on Oct. 2. It would reopen for Saturday morning visitors, 7 a.m. on Oct. 7, according to a release from the park.
    The West Rim Trail, which connects to the Angels Landing Trail near the park's main canyon, would also close, between the trailhead at the Grotto and Scout Lookout, according to the release. Hikers on the West Rim trail would not be allowed to pass Scout Lookout until after 1 p.m. Oct. 2. The rest of the week the full trail would remain open.
    During the closure, the Zion trail crew will be performing recurring maintenance, which includes replacing guide posts and worn sections of chain, removing litter and graffiti, and re-shaping some of the steps chiseled into the sandstone.
