Fall and tourist season has arrived in Moab. And something else has returned — Arches National Park entry closures. The park has reached capacity every day since it ended a pilot reservation program on October 4th. Plus, the annual John Denver Celebration hit a 25-year milestone in Aspen, Colorado, this week, just before the anniversary of the singer’s death on October 12, 1997. But the gathering in this town that Denver once called home could soon be changing as participants get older and the local hotel that hosts them changes hands.
