The Upper Soda Springs bridge across the Middle Fork San Joaquin River (mile 912.2) has been replaced and the PCT has reopened. We would like to offer our gratitude and appreciation to everyone who was involved in this major project, especially the staff of Inyo National Forest and PCTA volunteers.

Reds Meadow Road Reconstruction Project

Reds Meadow Road is being rebuilt. The resulting closures will have significant impacts to access in 2025, and possibly 2026. Be sure to read Inyo National Forest’s website if you are hoping to visit Reds Meadow. The project will impact people starting or ending trips, resupplying, car camping, or simply visiting for a day. Reds Meadow Resort will be open and offering services. Please visit redsmeadow.com for details.
