Hiked Ernie Maxwell Trail today and ran into some PCT hikers taking a break at the creek. A young PCT hiker from Santa Cruz informed me that the PCT is still closed from Cedar Springs Trail to Tahquitz Valley. The hikers now have to leave the PCT and walk or hitch a ride into Idyllwild so they can reconnect with the trail from Humber Park. Many of the hikers stop in Idyllwild anyway to pick up supplies and enjoy a yummy meal. Watch out for snakes!
