[pct-l] Idyllwild Area Trail Closures

[Sean Nordeen]

I was looking to head up to San Jacinto but after looking into it, the PCT
still remains closed in parts of the San Jacinto Wilderness due to the fire
earlier this summer.

I found this article from a few days ago:
http://idyllwildtowncrier.com/2013/08/13/idyllwild-area-trail-closures-may-last-for-months

The important part:
"For next spring’s annual PCT treks from here to the Canadian border, she
predicted the district will re-route the trail. Efforts will be to avoid
local roads and keep it in the forest until the PCT can be restored."

Given what few alternatives there are to the Desert Divide, it sounds like
another road walk detour next year.
