Is The Grand Canyon Open For Touring?

Is The Grand Canyon Open For Touring?

One of the most common questions online in the early portions of 2021 is asking information about the status of national parks.  This is because amid the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve seen the closure or restriction in access for many types of entertainment venues that will be deemed as tourist attractions.  The attractions that are open for business are generally operating with limited capacities and under specific types of rules that must be adhered to in order to gain entrance this can be quite difficult and overwhelming for someone who is planning a trip to a national park, and ultimately is driving hundreds if not thousands of miles to get to the park gates, only to find out that there are certain restrictions that must be followed in order to get in.  Wise travelers are going to figure out as much about this situation as possible before ever making your travel arrangements, as there are no exceptions to these rules, and nothing would be worse than traveling a significant amount of distance only to find out that you cannot go into the park.  For all of these reasons, we suggest that before you make any travel plans are all you do significant amount of research into the current status as far as the national park that you are interested in visiting.  Go to the websites of the parks that you are planning to visit, and carefully follow the directions that have been spelled out for you on their website.  The majority of these Parks are going to require an ignition pass to be secured a minimum of a few months in advance.  These passes are offered online to a limited amount of people so as to curtail the amount of people who will be inside of the park on any day.  The current setup for the release of passes is that the day that you would want to visit the park will have a pass released online a few months earlier.  The release 80% of the passes in the morning, and 20% of the passes at a later date.  Passes are then made available as people will relinquish them, but this is under no specific schedule.  Until you have secured an entrance pass, is not a wise idea to make any other travel plans as there is no admission without this document.
