Re: Major bridge outage reported on Facebook #Conditions

It's a work around, but from the look of it, not necessarily a work around that everyone would be comfortable with. Perhaps there are use trails that are unmarked on the basemap, but the turn south from Piute Canyon, over Alpine Col, around the Keyhole and down to Darwin Bench sounds like it involves a lot of talus and route finding. From reading trip reports on High Sierra Topix, I think that is a section of the Sierra High Route (?) so may well have use trails here and there, but it doesn't look like a route for the inexperienced, and photos from previous high snow years indicate that route will be tricky in snow especially if there isn't enough traffic to establish a good boot track. Wow - if that bridge is out (presumably it is the "lower bridge" on the Caltopo map?), it was a serious bridge, and I would agree that the San Joaquin on that stretch would likely be uncrossable in high flow without a bridge.
