To improve Park safety, Taroko National Park Headquarters has scheduled slope scrubbing (land/rockslide prevention) from November 21, 2022 – December 2, 2022 on Shakadang, Lushui, and Baiyang trails. Therefore, the slope scrubbing (rockfall prevention) section of trails will be closed. Please take note and abide by these control measures.
Details of trail closure due to slope scrubbing are as follows:
- Shakadang Trail: Slope scrubbing will be carried out from November 21, 2022 – November 24, 2022.
- Lushui Trail: Slope scrubbing will be carried out from November 25, 2022 – November 27, 2022. (Lushui trail remains open. Passage Time: Not predetermined - accessibility depends on checking work.)
- Baiyang Trail: Slope scrubbing will be carried out from November 28 2022 – December 2 2022.
Taroko National Park Headquarters maintains that the above slope scrubbing projects are necessary to mitigate landslides and rockfalls, and will ultimately strengthen tourist safety. In the case of inclement weather, the above construction periods may be altered or postponed; if so, the Park Headquarters will announce any changes on this website.
