Are you referring to the trail status page? If so, the bullets are always red. They don't indicate trail status. It may be misleading, but in years of watching that page, they've always been red.zozeppelin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 2:17 pm For the legend, I gave up on waiting for them to use the green icons to indicate trail open.
Well, in that case I stand corrected, redact my gripe and submit an improvement request Thanks for the correction!al_in_al wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 7:33 pmAre you referring to the trail status page?

I wasn't sure until Monday when he came up to me at the visitor Center, but Ranger 623 is a guy I met back in 2015 on the first day the GTTS road was open. I know/knew his name but wasn't sure he was 623. I don't want to post it in public without permission.
I got to the Siyeh pass trailhead very early and was the first person on the trail. I was about half way up the switchbacks
when I saw a Ranger coming way down below. He caught up with me in seemingly no time
It was Ranger 623. He was nice enough to hike the rest of the way to the pass with slow old me!
He was doing the "trail check" for the reports you see on the posted on the park website.
That is his primary job---walking ALL the trails in his section of the park.
And it was he who pointed out the beautiful "Jones Columbine" flowers.
Ranger 623 is a retired Marine Master Sargent and he can walk most people right into the ground.
15-20 mile days, sometimes many days in a row, are "routine" for him.
623 is a heck of a nice guy.
