Because of the federal government shutdown, national parks are closed and the National Park Service website is not being maintained.
As a result of donations from states to the National Park Service, the following national parks are temporarily re-opened.
- Arches National Park (Utah, open October 11-20)
- Bryce Canyon National Park (Utah, open October 11-20)
- Canyonlands National Park (Utah, open October 11-20)
- Capitol Reef National Park (Utah, open October 11-20)

- Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado, open October 11-20)
- Statue of Liberty National Monument (New York, open October 12-17)
- Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota, open October 14-23)
- Grand Canyon National Park (Arizona, open October 12-18)
We sincerely regret any inconvenience the closures cause and look forward to once again welcoming you to your national parks. In the meantime, we respectfully request that you honor all park closures. With more than 20,000 National Park Service employees furloughed, the staff that remain on duty are focused on protecting park resources and human life and safety and cannot provide the visitor services that you have come to expect from us for nearly 100 years.
Thank you for your support during this time.
