Show Delicate Arch Road Closed By Storms A report this week from Canyonlands National Na-tional Park Superintendent Superinten-dent Robert Kerr indicated indi-cated that the road to Delicate Arch viewpoint in Arches National Park has been closed due to repeated washouts. Mr. Kerr stated that the road would remain closed until un-til the weather clears. The White Rim Trail is also closed at the present pre-sent time and it is not known when crews and equipment w ill be able to move into that area to remove several slides which are currently blocking the road. It may be as late as next spring before repairs on this road can be completed. In the Needles Section Sec-tion of Canyonlands, Salt Creek and Horse Canyon are closed periodically following rainds due to quicksand which is common com-mon in the wash bottom. These roads are opened again after the weather clears sufficiently to allow al-low the sand to dry. |
