Thanks for your comment, and you are absolutely correct that this is private property/no trespassing. At the time of the original post, I had no idea there are things called "in-holdings" (NPS lingo), meaning privately held property within the national park boundary. I assumed "hey, I'm in JTNP, and this is part of the Park!" I figured the area was administratively closed but a couple photos wouldn't hurt anything. I've since learned the NPS has done it's best to buy up all in-holdings over the years, but there are a few (very few) left. I've researched this property, and I think it is owned by the Cohen family and referred to as the "Cohen Property". I have heard there are a couple of climbing guides that have permission to take a small number of climbers into the area. It's fascinating to me that there can be privately owned property within the boundaries of a National Park. I'm guessing the owners are very restricted with regards to improvements allowed by the NPS. No public water, no electricity, to internet/wifi, no cell service. But what a beautiful location!Spare Parts and Picshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836657200014402380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-35344588038040847162019-09-23T15:48:33.156-07:002019-09-23T15:48:33.156-07:00We have about 80 acres of land in J.T. in our reti...We have about 80 acres of land in J.T. in our retirement account that we are going to sell.<br /><br />It has Pinkham Canyon Trail, an open road running right in the property so there is access to the main road.

I am not sure who is care taking now, but I do know the climbing guides who now have rights to guide on the property. There is a locked chain on the road entering the property. Perhaps you entered in a different spot. It is private property and therefore no one should be looking around without permission. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714291897871274281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-70912869343684762462016-10-30T17:07:47.288-07:002016-10-30T17:07:47.288-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480235728900550273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-80125318686868019072016-06-08T00:48:25.585-07:002016-06-08T00:48:25.585-07:00I am reading your post from the beginning, it was ...I am reading your post from the beginning, it was so interesting to read & I feel thanks to you for posting such a good blog, keep updates regularly..<br /><a href="http://homeland.net.pk/lahore/plots-for-sale-in-paragon-city/" rel="nofollow">Plots for sale in Paragon City</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086254388180344778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-85154372495463190152015-09-28T09:12:31.958-07:002015-09-28T09:12:31.958-07:00This is fascinating!

I have heard of private places within national Forest lands being grandfathered in , so I guess it could happen in a NP as well. I wonder if it was written up to revert to the Park if the family no longer wanted it? I wonder if you could go to the County to look up info about the property? (They must have to pay property taxes somewhere and that is public records).
