MOAB, UT- The National Park Service will temporarily close Panorama Point at Arches National Park beginning the week of Aug. 13, 2018, for a construction project. The viewpoint will be closed Monday through Thursday weekly, possibly through the end of October.
Panorama Point will be open from 6:00 p.m. Thursday night to 7:00 a.m. Monday morning every week. Construction equipment and barricades will remain in the area. Visitors are reminded not to disturb or move this equipment.
The closure will allow construction crews to install new visitor facilities, including a picnic area, vault toilets, designated bus parking, and an area for night sky and telescope viewing programs. Visitor fees provided funding for these improvements.
