I meant to note that they finally opened this part of the PCT itself in late September. And the trailhead that we need to go back in on re-opened on the same day.
But just in case we might have been tempted to do a multi-day trip in northern Washington at the end of September? Yeah, they kept the seven mile section of trail from that trailhead to the PCT closed until two weeks ago (in fairness, that's where the burning actually occurred).
Here's to August, 2025!
