[pct-l] Idyllwild Area Trail Closures

[Tom Weir]

Does anyone know if Cedar Spring, and its namesake cedars, burned?  From the
Inciweb map it looks like Apache Spring definitely burned, but Cedar Spring
is right on the line between burned and unburned.  It could be a long
waterless stretch if both are gone.

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:

ast-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.
