Services are limited and the National Park Service urges visitors to:

  • Park only in designated areas.
  • Be prepared for limited access to garbage service and pack out everything you bring in.
  • Maintain 6 ft (2 m) social distance from others.
  • Stay on marked trails.
  • Most importantly, please stay home if you feel sick.
 

Social Distancing in Your Park

The health and safety of those who visit and work in national parks continues to be paramount, which is why we need you to be our partner in adopting social distancing practices. The CDC has offered guidance to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases while enjoying the outdoors.

Park rangers remain on duty to protect visitors and resources and uphold normal regulations. When recreating, please Recreate Responsibly and practice Leave No Trace principles.

Be sure to park only in designated areas, pack out everything you bring, plan to visit at times other than busiest times of the day or week, maintain social distance from others, and if you encounter a crowded trailhead or overlook, seek another location to recreate.  

We are also encouraging you to find your virtual park! Explore national parks from the comfort of anywhere in the world through online galleries of photos, videos, webcams, podcasts, and sound recordings.
