Bear in mind this is secondhand news! But the FB JMT group is reporting many people crossing. The location generally reported is ~0.4 miles downstream of the bridge, which is *north* of the (former) bridge (just clarifying, as there seems to be some confusion in other posts about which direction the river flows - northward - and which direction is downstream - north). However, use your best judgement in the day - where the river gets wider, it is also shallower.

Generally speaking, flow tends to be lowest in the morning as snowmelt increases as the temps rise during the day. If you see stormy conditions to the south of the crossing, keep a careful eye on flows in the river - there are two large watersheds that drain into the SJ and flows could swell quickly if its storming up catchment (or possibly even with a slight delay as the storm pulse works its way downstream).

thank you so much for that! so not those 0,4 miles before but after? do you happen to know at what time it is best? before 11 AM or even before 8?

Apparently lots of people crossing the river now. I’d still suggest being careful if it’s been raining, but a short distance downstream from the bridge there is apparently a knee-deep section that people say is pretty manageable.
