Rock Slides close some sections of Zion

January 12

The Zion Canyon Road is still closed past the Zion Lodge and the trails in Zion Canyon, with the exception of the Court of Patriarches are closed.


January 11th

The Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is closed north of the lodge, probably for the rest of the day. There was a large slide and rocks have to be moved. Large rocks will have to be blown up. The park did close off the road anticipating this so there should not have been anyone trapped this time and no injuries.

There was a rock slide at the 2nd switchback from the bottom, along the Zion Mt. Carmel Hwy, but rangers directed traffic around the rocks and had it cleaned up within a couple of hours.
