PSA: The two-year wait for Eagle Peak trail to reopen was worth every minute.
I waited two years for Eagle Peak trail to reopen after a big landslide. Every few months, I checked the park site for news. At first, I was annoyed by the slow progress. But I found new trails nearby that I loved. When Eagle Peak finally opened, the view felt like a reward for waiting. It showed me that good things take time, even in nature. Has a long trail closure ever changed your hiking plans?

Yeah, read an article about trail repairs taking forever.

How long was the trail in the article closed? I waited over a year for them to fix a washed-out bridge on my local loop. The whole permit and funding process just kills any sense of urgency.

Yeah reading about it is one thing, spencerb64, but dealing with it is another. The article probably didn't get into how a simple fix gets stuck in red tape for months. They'll have the actual repair done in a week but spend a whole year just getting the okay to start. Makes you wonder what they're even paying people for sometimes.
