ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah — A large rockfall inside Zion National Park has cut off access Monday to one of the most popular areas in the park.

The National Park Service reported the rockfall occurred in the Big Bend area of Zion and that crews are currently working to clear the hazard from the roadway.

Officials have not shared whether anyone was injured in the rockfall.

Due to the rockfall, the park's shuttle service, which currently provides the only access into the main areas of Zion, will only travel as far as bus stop #6, which services The Grotto.

The closure has shut off access to the Temple of Sinawava stop, which is the dropping-off and pick-up point for The Narrows hike, considered one of the most popular hikes in the National Park Service system.
