       Yup, I have been looking into this issue as well. The group on Facebook Alaska Mountain Bike Group has been having this discussion for a while now. A sign went in by a Forrest Service Ranger and a photo has been taken from the Facebook Group "Hiking in Alaska" The trail status will now reflect that amendment by USFS.

       Thanks for the info Seth. Glad I checked here before heading over there. Big bummer, that was on my tick list this year.
