In 2017, even early July when I started, crews had already been through and cut through the downed trees, loads of avi damage that year! Was very grateful to not have to climb up, over, under and around downed trees the whole trail! Le Conte canyon was especially bad.

Thanks for donating! ? PCTA and JMT Conservancy both do trail maintenance work on the JMT. ?I ran into a PCTA volunteer crew this summer at MTR as they were heading south to do some work. ? And the JMT Conservancy did some repairs on the Muir Shelter on Muir Pass this summer, replacing a damaged 94 year old window with a historically accurate reproduction. ? I'm sure both organizations did lots of other work as well on the JMT this summer. ? I donate to both organizations, and you may want to consider earmarking your funds specifically for trailwork, if that is what you care about. ? ?As you might know, one of the biggest issues right now on the trail is downed trees on the trail from avalanches during the 2022-2023 winter season. ? ?That was by far the biggest trail maintenance issue I faced hiking the trail this summer. ? Donating funds to clear the trail of all these downed trees might go a long way....
