Finally got through the blowdown section on the PCT near Big Bear

We hit a huge area of downed trees about 8 miles north of Onyx Summit that the maps said was clear. It took our group almost 4 hours to cover just 2 miles, picking our way over, under, and around all the logs. Has anyone else dealt with that stretch recently and found a better way around?

Maps are always wrong after a storm...

Maybe the real trail is the new path you just made.

That "maps said was clear" part is a perfect example of how you can't always trust the official info to be up to date. It feels like everything from road closures to trail conditions is just a best guess these days.
