There are new parking procedures put in place at Jones Gap. Day-use Reservations must be made 48 hours in advance. Please read this document for detailed information.

Trail Closure Warning: Cold temperatures and ice have forced the seasonal closure of the yellow-blazed, western section of the Rim of the Gap Trail (between junction with trails 15-Frank Coggins, and 21-John Sloan). This section of trail will remain closed until spring temperatures are consistently warm enough for the ice to melt and the trail to become safely passable.
