I'm a member of the Mt Hood Chapter PCTA. We maintain the trail from Mt.
Jefferson to Mt. Adams, 221 miles. Generally, we are running a month or
more behind our normal schedule. That said, we *probably* will have the
trails cleared and maintained before the thrus get here. My section, from
Frog Lake to Barlow Pass, had 2-5 feet of snow at Frog Lake a couple weeks
ago, and about 10 feet at Barlow Pass. Normally I can clear out Frog Lake
northbound a mile or so (to Twin Lakes loop, a popular day hike) before
Memorial Day. Not this year. I plan to logout from Frog Lake NB about
mid-June.
Some of us did our chainsaw certification on a section of PCT just north of
the OR/WA border, where we logged out 77 trees in 2 miles. So yes, the
trail could be a mess. We're geared up for it.
Also note the PCT goes above Timberline Lodge, above 6000 feet.
