Its too bad the national parks are closed.


I thought they were still open in the sense that all services had been closed, but you could still enter the parks and hike?

Think it depends park to park, but the few I’ve checked have their entrances/roads closed so you can’t access. Been trying to figure out where to go hike during this time and all the ones I’ve checked are closed.
