December 23, 2021 (Anza-Borrego) – Anza-Borrego Desert State Park today posted an alert on social media warning that the Buttes Pass Slot Canyon is closed until further notice due to a “difficult rockfall blocking the path.”
Rangers and resources staff are assessing the situation.
On Facebook, Matthew Jennings posted this reaction, along with a photo of what the canyon looked like shortly before the fall.
“We were just there last weekend. An excellent and beautiful hike,’ he wrote. “I hope it is open soon….”
A spokesperson for the Park Service confirmed that nobody was on the trail at the time and no one was injured.
