Navajo Nation Parks Remain Open During Shutdown
While our National Parks are closed due to the recent government shutdown, all Navajo Nation Parks are open and will remain open. Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Department Manager Martin L. Begaye reminds everyone that all Navajo Nation tribal parks are currently open and not affected by the federal government shutdown. Begaye also said Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation is receiving a lot of questions regarding the impact of the federal shut down upon its tribal parks.
