Perseverance Trail will be closed from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, August 19 (weather permitting) while helicopter crews transport construction material for Gold Creek bridge along the Perseverance Trail corridor.

During the closure, Coastal Helicopters will sling loads of material from the Last Chance Basin parking lot at the end of Basin Road to the bridge construction site on Gold Creek, 2.5 miles up Perseverance Trail from the trailhead parking lot.

Access to Perseverance Trail will reopen in the afternoon. The trail remains closed from the Granite Creek intersection to the Upper Red Mill juncture until installation of the new bridge is complete. Please follow signed detours and avoid the construction site for the safety of yourself and others.
