The Middle Fork canyon where the PCT crosses was in the middle of the
Bear fire -

The trail crossing is just east, upcanyon from Mt Ararat and Franklin 
Canyon, which are labeled on the fire map.

Looks like lots of trees were positioned to fall downhill to it.

It's hard to imagine any wooden parts surviving, but maybe the structural
steel is still useable.     Winter rains will be a problem, because the
trail structure just south of the bridge was through some loose sketchy
material.
