St. George • Zion National Park officials say rescue crews had to retrieve a group of hikers who were temporarily trapped on the popular Hidden Canyon trail after a rockfall.
The Spectrum reports it's the third time in a little more than a month that the park has had to close the trail due to rock falls.
The statement says Zion's search and rescue team and a helicopter crew from the Grand Canyon National Park helped transport the nine visitors safely out of the canyon Tuesday.
Park officials said in a statement that none of the hikers who were temporarily trapped behind the rockfall reported any injuries.
