SPRINGDALE, Utah — National Park Service officials have closed a trail bridge near Zion Lodge at Zion National Park after learning the bridge is shifting on its foundation.
The problem was found during what the park called a routine inspection.
The bridge is near Shuttle Stop number 5.
Visitors that planned to access the Emerald Pools complex of trails can still hike those trails, but they will need to access them from a different shuttle stop than normal.
Additionally, the Narrows hike in Zion National Park is closed because of the danger of high water. And those wanting to hike Angel’s Landing need a permit to do so. Guests can apply for this permit one day ahead of their planned hike.
