ST. GEORGE — Excessive snow and icy conditions have forced the closure of Kolob Terrace Road north of Virgin at the base of Maloney Hill, according to the National Park Service.
Because of the closure, the West Rim and Wildcat Canyon trailheads at Zion National Park are currently inaccessible by vehicle.
The park service recommends caution if driving up the Kolob Terrace road before these points because ice may persist in spots. The latest conditions and closures in the park can be assessed at this link.
