There are two fallen trees blocking the trail at mile 497.6. Also severely rutted conditions about 100 yards north of these downed trees, but not critical.
Two ravines have formed, destroying the PCT near mile 562.8 above Oak Creek Canyon. At last survey, most people were able to cross the ravine not too far from the PCT crossing. Please write in with updates should that no longer be the case.
