Fourth of July Updates
During the Fourth of July holiday week, park staff will make every effort to share updates about traffic, park conditions, and visitor information.
Because the park often experiences very high visitation during this time, staff may not be able to post updates on social media as frequently as usual.
To help visitors stay informed, this page includes information widgets and updates from partner agencies that assist us in providing safety and travel information during the holiday weekend.
Please check this page regularly for the most current updates.
