Another National Park closure

Zion is closed too.
I just got a refund notice for 5/11-5/15. I was holding out hope for May, but expecting this might happen.

I believe all campgrounds, public and private, are closed in Utah. I think NPs are open to drive thru, Arches was free the other day, but no camping, even on BLM. Please correct me it I'm wrong.  Moab reminded us of decades ago. Everything is closed.
Riding the fine line between bravery and stupidity since infancy.
