Zion - Angel's Landing Trail Closed
 

Hi Fodorites,

Our local news announced that 2 of the popular trails on the west side of Zion Canyon are closed due to bridge repair work by the Park Service. As many of you know, there is a bridge that crosses the Virgin River to the West Rim Trail which continues on up to Angel's Landing. The trail is closed now through mid-October so they can do maintenance work.

Not to worry - there are many other incredible hikes in Zion with amazing views.

Enjoy!

A nice alternative is Observation Point. From there you can look DOWN on Angel's Landing and the rest of Zion Canyon.

UGH. First they decide to allow Subway and other fast food franchises to infiltrate Springdale, now this !

Well Clark, the bridge work is only for 6 weeks. Subway just might be forever......

PS - I'm not sure which is worse Subway in Springdale, or the horrible concessionaires the gov has allowed to run lodging and food services inside the parks.

I actually think Subway outside the park is the lesser evil.

NPS site says intermittent closures Sept. 21-Oct. 15. We've been planning to do this hike mid-Sept.

Dayle....I have never really been disappointed at any National Park in a concessionaire. Isn't Zion Xanterra? We had a good stay and a couple of meals in the park there a couple of years ago.
