Zion National Park has announced the reopening of the Weeping Rock Trail and nearby Shuttle Stop 7, effective from Friday, September 5, 2025. The popular hiking trail and shuttle stop had been closed since November 2023, following a rockfall incident that resulted in significant damage.
During the closure period, maintenance crews carried out extensive repair work on the trail tread, railings, and stairs. This work was necessary to ensure the safety and accessibility of the trail for park visitors. The reopening signals the successful completion of these repair efforts.
In addition to the maintenance work, geologists were brought in to assess the site following the rockfall. Their assessment was a crucial part of the process, ensuring the stability and safety of the area for future use. With the reopening of Weeping Rock Trail and Shuttle Stop 7, visitors can once again fully enjoy the unique experiences these features offer at Zion National Park.
