Arches National Park, even after the Memorial Day weekend, was having to turn single vehicle visitors away because it was so full. The national parks and monuments in Utah are seeing huge crowds.
SALT LAKE CITY The Memorial Day holiday may be in the rearview mirror, but Utah s national parks and monuments continue to be at the front of the line for tourists wanting to drive through some of the state s most spectacular scenery.
Since May 20, with the exception of one day, Arches National Park has had to close the park each day temporarily until the line of motorists eases up and the park has additional capacity for new visitors.
It was reporting full capacity as late as Wednesday, when it warned potential tourists in a tweet that they needed to find an alternative attraction or return at a later time after visitation eased.
