South Fork San Joaquin River Bridge damaged
The bridge across the South Fork San Joaquin River is damaged. This large metal bridge normally provides safe passage at PCT mile 854.5 in Kings Canyon National Park across the river.
Do not use the broken bridge, as doing so may be dangerous. Without a bridge, crossing the river is not possible anywhere in the general vicinity during high water. The record-breaking snowpack this year essentially guarantees that high water conditions will exist into August, if not longer. This is a significant impact to travel along the PCT/JMT between Muir Trail Ranch and Evolution Valley.
Please note that the Woods Creek Bridge is also damaged.
