๐ฅ **Needles District Closure Update** ๐ฅ
Like many of you, we're keeping a close eye on the wildfires affecting parts of southern Utah. At this time, the **Needles District of Canyonlands National Park is temporarily closed** due to fire activity and for the safety of visitors and firefighters.
The good news is that **Moab remains open for adventure!** While the Needles District is a beautiful part of the park, it's located well south of Moab and isn't where most of our Jeep rental customers explore.
There are still countless places to experience the incredible red rock landscapes that make this area famous, including:
๐ Arches National Park
๐ Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park
๐ Dead Horse Point State Park
๐ Gemini Bridges
๐ Hurrah Pass
๐ Long Canyon
๐ Potash Road
๐ Onion Creek and many more scenic backcountry routes.
If you have a trip planned with us, we're operating as normal and are happy to recommend amazing alternatives if Needles was on your list.
As always, we'll continue to monitor conditions and share updates if anything changes. Our thoughts are with the firefighters and everyone working to protect these incredible public lands.
We look forward to helping you explore the best of Moabโthere's still plenty of adventure waiting! ๐
