Red Rock Canyon’s entrance is temporarily closed Saturday afternoon because of heavy traffic.
“We’re closed temporarily until traffic thins out,” according to a 1:15 p.m. post on Red Rock Canyon’s Twitter page. “Rock Canyon is a GREAT place to bring family & friends over the holidays. Unfortunately that means we experience capacity issues. Want to beat the rush & avoid closures? Come for breakfast or a pre-lunch hike!”
An employee who answered the phone at Red Rock Canyon said closures typically last for an hour to 1½ hours, but that law enforcement would decide when the entrance gates will reopen.
