We started at the Cal/Ore border on the 18th. Snow around Observation Peak covered the trail but was not too big a problem. We chose to hike on Forest Service Rd 20 to avoid snow covered trails.

Squints and I hiked from the Oregon border to I5 July 2-4th. Significant snow still in the trees on the east slopes from just north of the border to Grouse Gap. The trail is impassable at times because of steep slopes. We rerouted to Road 20 to make it through. After Grouse its clear sailing.

While the lower elevation sections of the PCT north and south of Seiad Valley, CA are accessible, the higher elevations on the Siskiyou Crest along the CA/OR state line are still holding significant snow. Acess and route finding on the Siskiyou Crest will remain challenging through the month of June.
