The indefinite road and campground closures, announced by the park's staff Saturday morning, were meant to help 'slow the spread of the novel coronavirus' and keep the park's staff and visitors safe.

, announced by the park's staff Saturday morning, were meant to help"slow the spread of the novel coronavirus" and keep the park's staff and visitors safe."Displaced car campers can take advantage of open camping areas on public lands adjacent to the park and managed by the Bureau of Land Management as well as local private RV parks," the release said.

"I went out with a bright flashlight to check it out," Rennie said. "The lights were from the headlamps of a couple people trying to make camp in my yard. They had their sleeping bags out and everything. I told them they had to go." Wei acknowledged that it was an unusual time to visit the park, given the road and campground closures, but he was still enjoying himself. Wei called it the desert trip he's been dreaming of and plans on staying for a month if he can.

Dozens of visitors could be seen walking up the road to the park's entrance late Sunday afternoon as a ranger stood next to the entrance telling drivers who had driven to the closed gate that they needed to turn around.
