Capitol Reef NP

Question

We just heard that Capitol Reef NP was closed because of washed out road. Heard this at laundry at RV park so must be true.  The info was it was closed two weeks ago but didn't see anything on the NPs website and listed phone number is "not a working number". Any current info will be appreciated as we are headed that way.  Thanks,

Usually the psrk's web-site lists any "alerts" (closed roads, etc) I see none listed, we should be there late next week, assuming that Congress passes a budget and the Parks and such are open

If the national park was closed it would have been posted on the web site.

The phone number is 435-425-3791, Ext 4111 for park info for a confirmation.

If you heard this info at an area RV park, perhaps they told you that so you would stay in their park rather the national park! :) :)

My wife heard it from another camper not the RV park.  That number is the one "not a current number". I think one road may have been closed but nothing major. Hopefully, thanks,

9:15 PM   Sep 25I just went to the park's website (www.nps.gov/care) and check the notices.  The road back to the Hickman Bridge Trailhead (off of Utah 24)is closed by a rockslide.  None of the roads into or out of the park are involved.It is like the "telephone rumor game."By the way, the fruit harvest is good this year.
