Based on recommendations from the county’s Tourism Advisory Board, the commission approved a resolution granting $100,000 to the Trust for Public Land for the pending purchase of Simon Gulch, a parcel of land owned by the Bulloch family that has been used to provide public access to The Narrows hike.
