SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Crater Lake and Mount Rainier national parks will be limited due to the government shutdown.
The Statesman Journal reports the lapse in federal funding prompted Crater Lake managers to close the visitor's center, cancel ranger-guided snowshoe trips and close the road to the lake's rim.
Mount Rainier closed its road to popular winter recreation destination Paradise.
Both places remain technically open but, as with most national parks and monuments, there will be almost no services, including search and rescue.
The federal government shutdown will impact the more than 400 national parks and monuments.
