Mist Trail	Sep 10, 2024 @ 5:13am Sep 10, 2024	The trail is closed for trail work from 7 AM to 3 PM on weekdays through mid-October. It is okay to hike the rest of the time. There are no major blockages. The closure seems to be only to keep the crowds away from those working so they actually get something done.
