SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Rangers at Zion National Park say they will continue a crackdown on drunk drivers in the park through Labor Day weekend.
Park Superintendent Jock Whitworth says rangers will expand DUI checkpoints and patrols to ensure a safe visit for the 2.7 million annual park visitors.
Enforcement activities will include sobriety checkpoints and increased patrols on many of the park's roads.
Rangers at Zion will also be partnering with Utah Highway Patrol on some of the enforcement activities.
High visibility patrols are also planned for late October, around Halloween and hunting season. Regular enforcement efforts will continue to occur throughout the year.
