If the US Gov has a shutdown, won't our National Parks be closed? I have booked a hiking trip next week to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon. I am wondering if I am going to need to cancel.

If the National Parks are shutdown, where out West would you all hike that would not be affected by the shutdown? I have open ended airline tickets so I am pretty flexible in location.

If I can't find a place out West, I was thinking about hiking in the Adirondacks or Grandfather Mtn. in NC which is privately owned I believe.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time.
