Shuttle Access to Knappa DH Trails Closed

The thing we feared the most with the Knappa trails, and the reason the exact location of the trails has been kept out of the public eye has come true. The gate has been locked to the public, ending shuttle access, and effectively shutting down access to the DH trails. The irony is that it [...]
