Have the National Parks closed or changed programs in response to Coronavirus?

You'll need to check the individual park for its status, as some are closed or limited in operation, others not as yet. Here is a link to start: https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/news/pub...lth-update.htm

Sequoia/Kings Canyon closed all facilities effective today. That means the park is open but no visitor's center, no lodging available, etc. All California State Park campgrounds are now closed as well.

Thanks for the replies. From the list that sludick posted it looks like most parks are very limited. Too bad for those folks who have limited time to visit.

Zion has stopped running shuttles and apparently the roads are clogged with cars. The article I saw was SLC newspaper, and I only saw the headline due to the paywall.

We're supposed to take a summer-long RV trip to the Western national parks. We'll have to keep our eyes on this - no point heading west unless the parks are open.
