Some iconic national parks in California, including Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park, have announced they are partially closed or have limited access during the holidays as a result of a lack of maintenance staff during the partial government shutdown.

The freeze in government services has left the National Parks facing issues with overflowing trash bins and even issues with human waste services.
