KEY TAKEAWAYS

Zion National Park's Weeping Rock Trail reopened after a nearly two-year closure.

The trail was closed due to a rockfall in November 2023, which caused damage.

Hidden Canyon and East Rim trails remain closed; safety monitoring continues.

SPRINGDALE, Washington County — A "cherished" alcove and hanging gardens site at Zion National Park, along with a shuttle stop in the area, have reopened for the first time since a rockfall nearly two years ago.

The Weeping Rock Trail and Shuttle Stop No. 7 reopened on Friday, but two trails that it links up with remain closed, park officials said in an update.

"We are pleased to once again welcome hikers back to Weeping Rock, one of Zion's most cherished destinations," Jeff Bradybaugh, the park's superintendent, said in a statement.
