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 continue 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 rescue workers to cross multiple warnings and physical barriers. 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 said the powerful slide was caused by large rocks and removed trees. He warned that more rockslides are likely due to recent heavy rainfall, which weakened the rocks.
