Glacier Road #39 Closed
In case you didn't know...
Glacier Road #39 is closed completely until at least 28 Aug 2009. We tried to get to the heliotroph rigde trailhead yesterday to go seracing, but it is closed to car and foot travel.
Crap! Enda'80s

Was pretty pissy about it's long closure also. It's such a great hike I can't believe they are taking so long to fix it. It will be a good hike for early fall.

If this road was in Canada it would NEVER be fixed. Don't complain.
The USFS does a great job of posting updates on their website, as does WTA.org - plus you can always post a question on www.nwhikers.net if you are still unsure

It's been closed all summer. But apparantly it was scheduled to re-open in August or September for fall hiking - which is amazing around Mt. Baker.
