A rockslide in the area of Provo Canyon's Bridal Veil Falls closed the trail and park on Friday, according to a October 23 statement from the Utah County Sheriff's Office. The closure affects the area from the parking lot east along the trail for approximately one-fourth mile toward the falls.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office reported at 3:53 p.m. that rocks continue to fall in the affected area and requested that people stay away. While the trail was scheduled to close next week, the rockslide prompted an earlier closure. No one was injured in the incident, and the area has been inspected.
The area will remain closed for the winter, and cleanup is expected to take place in the spring. Deputies and volunteers have been on site to help keep the area clear, and officials have notified the appropriate parties to handle repairs and cleanup.
