While Big Bend National Park closed Thursday due to a confirmed case of Covid-19 within the park's community, other parks are moving carefully in granting visitors access, and at least one concessionaire is requiring customers to wear facemasks, a Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore National Memorial will not require face masks or social distancing.

Fireworks will be igniting the night sky over Mount Rushmore National Memorial this Fourth of July as the National Park Service has come up with guidelines to allow the displays to return after an 11-year absence. However, planning for forest fires that might be set by the fireworks, managing visitors to the memorial during the event, and dealing with environmental contamination are issues that must be addressed.

National Park Service officials are working to approve a plan to see the Fourth of July fireworks display return to Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.

Nearly two decades after Congress passed the the National Park Air Tour Management Act that called for the plans to police the airspace over the National Park System, the Federal Aviation Administration and National Park Service are promising to create some plans, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.
