[pct-l] PCT fire closure Marble Mts from Paradise Lake to Summit Lake

[Dale Combs]

This might cause SOBOs or late NOBO's to skip the Seiad Valley to Etna Summit section.
 
It's possible to avoid the currently closed PCT section by taking trails that are further to the west, Bear Valley -->Rainy Valley Creek-->Wooley Creek-->Big Meadows-->Right Hand Fork of the Salmon-->Shelly Meadows.
 
You'd have to have US Forest Service map of the Marble Mts you can purchase at the Happy Camp Ranger Station, Yreka Ranger Station or the one in Ft Jones.
 
I did  the southern half of the detour above as one leg of an out and back section hike a couple weeks ago and it was best hiking of the summer in remote forest primeval.

Meadows on the PCT/JMT only to see this sight 
awaiting them...?

I'm a new member and am doing a short section from Trout Lake to White Pass and noticed no posted trail reports for this area. None on the WTA's web sight either. Has anyone done this section recently?
