Title: Avalanche Gorge goat guys losing some access Monday
Post by: bear 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.

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.
