I am doing the GAP and C&O in early September. Previous posts mention the GAP is closed due to landslide and that Shuttles have been running. Is this still the case?
Thanks.

Scroll just a little bit lower on this forum and you'll find a discussion about the closure due to the landslide and shuttles. I think the shuttles are expected to run through 10/1/25. It is covered in depth in that thread.

It has been reported that the shuttles will be offered AT LEAST through October 1 if a full evaluation and remedies are not completed before then.

I biked through that area last week. Short answer is that the 7-mile landslide area is barricaded due to terrain instability (not current condition of the trail), and the shuttles aren't always reliable. I arrived at the shuttle stop at 4:30 pm last Saturday, and later learned the last shuttle of the day had departed 15 minutes earlier at 4:15 pm. Best to have a "plan B".
