Angels Landing And Portion Of West Rim Trail At Zion National Park Closed October 23-25

The two evaporative toilets at Scout Lookout in Zion National Park in Utah are being replaced with a new four-stall facility.

The operation requires the use of a helicopter, so safety precautions in the form of trail and road closures will be in effect. On all three days of the operation, Angels Landing and the West Rim Trail will be closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. between the Grotto Trailhead and the patio just above Scout Lookout.
