Nice to see they’re narrowing the windows for everything outdoors now one by one.

I was actually thinking about heading out there back on Saturday, but decided against it since I saw something about a seasonal closure last year. Couldn't find this years notice online, but glad I didn't waste my time driving.

I also saw something that they rescinded it early last year ~May 1 since it had all melted out

They're probably doing this for calving season for elk back there. Makes a lot of sense because the number one reason elk calves die is human contact and they get lost from there mom.

pretty sure this happens every year during the spring.

Can you still run the rest of the trail, just not the section that is 101? I think that gate is only on one side if I remember right? The gate is not on the side were you enter on Saddlestring Rd.

Pretty sure that gate is right at the beginning of the trail. It’s the cattle guard right after the air down spot.
