Hikers ignore barricades, warnings near Bridal Veil Falls after major rockslide

Warnings and barricades are not stopping hikers from entering a closed trail at Bridal Veil Falls after a major rockslide.Local officials in Provo said the rock Hikers are continuing to ignore warnings and barricades near Bridal Veil Falls, despite a major rockslide that forced the closure of the popular trail. The Utah County Sheriff's Office has stated that it is difficult to keep someone at the site overnight due to lack of manpower. The North Fork Fire Department responded to an emergency medical call on the closed path, which required 20 people to leave the closed section during their rescue call. The trail and area at the base of Bridal Ve Falls will remain closed until spring due to ongoing safety concerns. Chief David Marsella of the North Fork fire department attributed the power of the slide to heavy rainfall, which weakened some of the rocks.
