One of the most coveted hikes in the country has closed indefinitely, the Utah national park said in a recent announcement. The closure is likely due to President Donald Trump’s administration’s layoffs. Arches National Park announced it will not offer ranger-led tours or issue self-guided permits to visitors to go through Fiery Furnace “until further notice,” and said the area is temporarily closed in an alert on March 23.
