Blocked experiences
In 2021, my wife and I took our 2nd COVID trip back to the SW and its grand American National Parks. We spent our time in Arches and Canyonlands. The highlight was a self-guided visit into the Fiery Furnace. That hike in the rocks was amazing. Yesterday, my wife told me that the Fiery Furnace is closing down due to funding issues… I’m sorry that others will not be able to experience this amazing place.

"Officials recommend avoiding the strenuous Delicate Arch Trail during midday summer heat, according to the trail’s NPS webpage. The 3-mile trail “climbs up a steep slickrock slope with no shade and some exposure to heights,” and there’s no drinking water at the trailhead, officials said. Temperatures in Moab, where the trail is located, reached a high of 99 degrees on Aug. 20, according to AccuWeather"
