Red Rock Canyon Scenic Loop closed 'until further notice'

Red Rock Canyon's Scenic Loop is closed until further notice, officials announced Wednesday afternoon. The closure was posted on social media shortly after 2 p.m.

No reason was given for the shutdown. The Bureau of Land Management, which manages the National Conservation Area, did not immediately respond to requests for additional details.

The 13-mile loop drive is the primary access point for visitors to the conservation area's hiking trails, overlooks and rock climbing routes. It was unclear how long the closure would last.

This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
