Which national park temporarily closed while Symington was in office?

  • Yosemite

  • Zion

  • Grand Canyon

  • Joshua Tree

Answer

The Grand Canyon National Park temporarily closed during David Symington's term as Arizona's Governor. This closure, spanning several days in January 1995, arose due to a significant government shutdown triggered by budget disputes between Symington and the state legislature. The shutdown affected various public services, including park operations, leading to the temporary closure of the Grand Canyon to visitors.
