The park strongly recommends traction devices for walking around the park. Drivers should observe all posted speed limits; to protect native flora and fauna, the park places cinders on roads but does not use salt. Ice may exist on roadways. Winter Road and Trail Closures (See Alerts)Following winter storms, the 18-mile southern scenic drive may close beyond the Bryce Amphitheater at Mile 3 to allow crews to clear the road. The Wall Street side of the Navajo Loop and Bryce Point Peekaboo Loop Connecting Trail are currently closed. All other front country trails remain open. Sheep Creek and Corral Hollow Backcountry Sites ClosedDue to bear activity, the Sheep Creek campsite is closed to overnight use until further notice. Corral Hollow is temporarily closed. Backcountry Under-the-Rim Trail Damage and Hiker AdvisoryDue to deteriorating trail conditions, those hiking the Under-the-Rim trail must understand that they do so at their own risk. Strong wayfinding skills are a must, and responses to emergency situations may be difficult and delayed. The Agua Canyon Connecting Trail remains closed due to rockfall.
