A beloved hiking trail in a Kelowna trail will be undergoing a temporary closure.

“This work will mitigate rockfall hazards to improve safety for trail users,” the city said on Thursday, “as well as prevent damage to the trail by reducing the need for regular rock scaling.”

Signs will be posted in the area alerting of the trail closure. The rest of Knox Mountain will remain open.
