While you can count on the majority of our National Parks to be open most of the year, it is always a good idea to double-check which National Parks are open during the shutdown both while planning your trip and right before you arrive. Natural hazards like winter storms, flash floods, and wildfires can occur at any time, resulting in precautions ranging from road closures to full closures of the park. And yes, government shutdowns are always something to look out for.

The aftermath of the government shutdown

After the partial government shutdown that ended Friday, Jan 25, Mike Litterst, chief spokesman for the National Park Service, said the nation’s more than 400 parks are reopening on a rolling schedule. Some of the parks that were partially open and accessible during the shutdown are expected to get back to full operations more quickly.

The following statement was up on the National Parks Service website on 1/29/19:

With the enactment of the continuing resolution, the National Park Service is preparing to resume regular operations though the schedule for individual parks may vary depending on staff size and complexity of operations. Many parks which have been accessible throughout the lapse in appropriations remain accessible with basic services. Visitors should contact individual parks or visit park websites for the latest information opening schedules and accessibility and visitor services. Some parks which have been closed throughout the lapse in appropriations may not reopen immediately. [As of 1/29/19]

How you can help the US National Parks after a shutdown

Stay informed

Be aware of alerts and continuing closures at each individual National Park. These are often in effect for your own safety as well as to protect and preserve our parks.

Donate

The National Park Foundation (NPF), the official umbrella nonprofit for the whole parks system, has established a fund that they will dole out to the various parks according to need. People can donate now to the Parks Restoration Fund to create a pool of money the individual parks can draw from as soon as they can begin restoration.

Volunteer

Sign up to be alerted for volunteer opportunities once parks staff are back online and able to coordinate requests to help. Each of the parks also has a more local nonprofit partner that helps upkeep them, and NPF is coordinating with those entities directly to manage donations and volunteer requests.
