ZION NATIONAL PARK -- Park officials say the Zion National Park 100th anniversary celebration will continue despite wildfires that have closed parts of the park.

The fires were started by lightning Tuesday night. Close to 100 firefighters are on the front lines.
Events celebrating the park's centennial begin Friday. [CLICK HERE for more information on the events]
