[pct-l] Fuller Ridge

[Dan Welch]

Quackers,

 

The map I am looking at
(http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5431397.pdf) shows
the PCT open from Devils Slide to Saddle Junction but then closed north of
there up to the border with the State Park.  This is in conflict with the
one that Hiker Jim posted on the Mtsanjacinto.info forum which shows the
trail open from Devils Slide all the way to the Stat Park..  That's why I'm
trying to get clarification.  Do you have a map source different than the
one I cited above?

 

Thanks

Timberline

Dan & Others...

You may be able to get more current, first hand, information by calling the
Long Valley Rangers (at top of Palm Springs Tram). Their number is
951-659-2607. 

At very least call the San Jacinto Ranger Station at 909-382-2921. 

My understanding is that Devil's Slide Trail is open to Saddle Junction and
then the PCT to the north.

If you look closely at the US Forest Service Closure Map for the area
(enlarge it to 190% or 210%) you will see that the red line, indicating the
PCT from Saddle Junction north, appears to not be included in the closure. 

Quackers
