My hike to a 'secret' canyon ended with a closed trail and no cell signal.

Man those blogs will get you every time lol. Last year I followed one to a "secluded waterfall" and ended up waist deep in mud with no waterfall in sight. Felt like a real genius that day. Guess my sense of adventure is bigger than my sense of direction.

Was it officially closed or just overgrown and abandoned?

Nah, some hidden gem blogs actually mention closures, you just gotta look for the updates.

See this happen all the time with those online "hidden gem" lists. They never mention the reality of closures or sketchy access.
