Arches and Canyonlands national parks in southeastern Utah have reopened their visitor centers that have been closed due to the federal government shutdown.
Parks officials said in Facebook posts that donations from the Canyonlands Natural History Association allowed visitor centers at Arches National Park and the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park to open daily 9 a.m.-to-4 p.m.
Efforts are underway at both parks to clear roads and sidewalks but the status of roads could depend on weather conditions. The Utah Department of Transportation says it’s working with park officials to reopen roads.
