UPDATE
According to Michael Rupp, district interpreter at Canyonlands National Park, Shafer Trail is now open.
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE - ISLAND IN THE SKY
All visitors to the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park need to avoid Shafer Trail as it descends toward Potash.
According to the National Park Service, the trail is currently closed due to a large semi truck trailer blocking the road. The park is working to clear the road and does not have an estimated time for when it will be cleared. We will update as soon as it is open.
ORIGINAL POST
The Island in the Sky visitor center is reporting that a trailer and tractor are stuck at separate locations on the switchbacks. All park guests with plans to use Shafer Trail should inquire at the visitor center before attempting to negotiate it.
