Zion visitor during the shutdown report
Zion No disaster found at the park but it is away from major population centers and this is probably the least visited season in the park.

I have to laugh at the big headlines that 3 people have died in National Parks since the shutdown.(One death is too many and unfortunate) but it reads like they are blaming the shutdown and lack of rangers for their deaths. Further in the article a ranger states that on average 6 people die in National Parks per week. Seems like the shutdown is "saving" lives if there has only been three in three weeks of shutdown. I don't know, I'm old and don't use the new math.
