An exception has been made for long-distance hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail.<br />The updated order may be found here: Closure Order. Revised Closure Map<br /><br />Note that East Flats dispersed campground, and the Santa Ana River trail south of Highway 38 are no longer part of the closed area.Smokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444657047041717702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805100829126623437.post-36487596491330111922016-05-18T21:20:38.728-07:002016-05-18T21:20:38.728-07:00There is definitely work going on through the SGWA...There is definitely work going on through the SGWA on the PCT section that goes through the Lake Fire Closure. The SGWA trail crews have not been allowed into other closure areas.<br /><br />I was getting hopeful for awhile that they might re-open the PCT in May, but that now looks like that won't happen. Maybe June or July. Maybe. The Forest Service apparently has a lot of protocols they have to go through.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805100829126623437.post-20296555063262278142016-05-18T16:25:16.731-07:002016-05-18T16:25:16.731-07:00Sounds like work has started clearing on the PCT s...Sounds like work has started clearing on the PCT section affected by the lake fire: http://www.sgwa.org/content/sgwa-trail-crew-work-pct, the article states that it would be open 'in a few weeks' at time of writing (4/13/16). Any idea when they might start clearing the other trails?<br /><br />I was hoping to do a 2-nighter to bag San B and San G via San Bernardino divide trail, but looks like I will end up camping at Barton flats and doing day hikes up to both.wathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404541367265202081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805100829126623437.post-2692717350237624962016-01-14T17:28:55.962-08:002016-01-14T17:28:55.962-08:00Good site.Good site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
