ZION NATIONAL PARK
Mount Kinesava.
On May 1st, during the park?s law enforcement refresher, dispatch notified rangers that a park researcher had just reported seeing parachutes in the air in the vicinity of Mount Kinesava. Rangers drove to the Chinle trail near the park boundary and contacted four men carrying mid-size backpacks, none of whom would submit to a consent search of his belongings. A search warrant was prepared and served on the men, resulting in the seizure of four parachutes and associated equipment, including video cameras. Each was issued a single mandatory appearance violation notice on scene for illegal air delivery (36 CFR 2.17 (a) (3)). An investigation into additional violations committed by the foursome is underway.
