    SNP is closed including Skyline Drive

    Took this from the Shenandoah National Park FB page. I know the facilities have been closed for the past few weeks but this appears to close the trails for hikers/hangers.

    Shenandoah National Park Will Temporarily Close

    Luray, Virginia – The National Park Service (NPS) received a letter from the Rappahannock Rapidan Health District of the Virginia Department of Health recommending the full closure of Shenandoah National Park. Upon receiving this request from the health department, Superintendent Jennifer Flynn, with the support of the NPS Deputy Director, Operations, David Vela and Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, made the decision to immediately close the park until further notice.

    Virginia State Highways 211 and 33 will remain accessible to pass-through.

    The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners is our number one priority. The NPS is working servicewide with federal, state, and local authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. The park will notify the public when it resumes full operations and provide updates on the park website https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/alerts.htm and social media channels.

    The NPS encourages people to take advantage of the many digital tools already available to explore Shenandoah National Park, including:

    • Visit our website for interactives, photo galleries, videos, and webcams: https://www.nps.gov/shen/learn/photo...edia/index.htm
    • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ShenandoahNPS
    • Join us on social media where we will host new content in the coming weeks: https://www.facebook.com/shenandoahnps/, https://twitter.com/ShenandoahNPS, and https://www.instagram.com/shenandoahnps/.

    Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus. Please visit www.goshenandoah.com for updates about park concessioner, Delaware North’s operations.

    We've had to close trailheads and prohibit parking on shoulders here in White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. Too many people congregating, mostly with Massachusetts tags, who are used to vacationing here, and now are out of work. Boston is one of the viral hots spots. The NH governor had to shut down hotels & short term rentals. People like to spread this thing by traveling.

    I am closing my thread. It was just meant to let folks know we can no longer hang/hike in SNP.
