We were told that the trail is closed because they were still working on it. Back in March the Kansas City Star had an article stating that is was now open (so we were confused). There is a post on facebook about the grand opening June 1st at the northern end by the tunnel (at the new trailhead). So hopefully, after this weekend they will take down the trail closed signs.
