[pct-l] Fuller Ridge

[Dan Welch]

Perfect.  Yes that map is slightly different - but it's a very important
difference.  I was happy the map has a date on it (11/6/2013) that
supersedes the on the forest closure map that PCTA links to.  I'll call the
USFS today and let them k now they are posting maps with two different trail
closures.  That HAS to be confusing for people.

 

Thanks for responding,

Timberline

Go to this link: 
http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5440813.pdf

(slightly different than the page link you sent me)

If you look closely (enlarge to 190%) you will see that the trail line for
the PCT just to the left of the closure boundries, leading me to believe
that the trail is open from Saddle Junction (just to the NW of the fire
outlook icon). The closed trails are highlighted purple.

But call one of those numbers tomorrow to make sure.

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

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.
