Looking to get on shirt tail peak Saturday. I saw on the route's page that it is closed till July 2015 or until they say it's all good. What's the word? Thanks

According to the ACE website (Action Committee for Eldorado), its closed. According to the Mtn Project page its closed.
According to CJC its open.
Your call I guess.
Have at it may be the kind of beta that gets you hosed.
If you don't believe ACE (for some strange reason) you could call the park.

I'm afraid the ACE website isn't frequently updated. We're slowly planning a website overhaul. I will check on the status of the closure and post again.

Damn, a reason to not believe ACE. Perhaps? If so, I stand corrected.

Even a stopped clock tells the right time, twice a day.
(Wait long enough and the out-of-date website is accurate again)

Thanks, Steve.

Thanks for all the input guys, think I'm gonna go for it. Tickin all the classics off and gambit looks like a great way to bag shirt tail! Thanks again

Any word on the seasonal redgarden closures? I tried to call the park this morning as well, but no one picked up.

Try not to go into the park with only one objective in mind and read the signs at the trailheads.

This. It will be posted on the board at the trailhead of shirt tail peak like it is every year they close it. If i recall correctly STP wasn't closed exactly on Feb 1st last year either.

Shirt Tail is officially closed until July 15th, 2015. I'll post a link to the press release when they release it.
