Avalanche Gorge goat guys losing some access Monday
« on: October 07, 2020, 05:36:26 PM »
Heads up! Artist Point closing Monday, Oct. 12 for the winter. This is not due to snow, but a crumbling wall that is eroding.

Why is it perfect?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Doesn't look like any engineering went into that brick wall.  Not surprised it is falling apart.

Oh well. It’s just an extra 3 miles.

3 extra miles of packing to the lucky few. Coats on the billies should be awesome
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

And way less day hikers. Earlier this year they had it closed due to a small patch of snow. It really limited how many people went all the way back, bc of that initial climb to the TH.

I know how to get closer tho those goats with less hiking than those 3 miles.😉

So if anyone has a tag on here I could help them.🤔

Good luck regardless.
