    14 Jun 25 - Conditions Report: Forester Pass (PCT/JMT Route Beta)

    June 21, 2025 2 min read

    Courtesy of PCT thru hiker "Green Light" who stopped by the store today!

    Conditions Report: 

    Current As Of: 14 June 2025*

    Activity During Report: On/Off trail hiking on along Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and John Muir Trail (JMT)

    Conditions: See photos below primarily from the top and north side of Forester Pass. The cornice is still there at the top of the pass and plenty of snow remains before and after (though some of the trail is melted out - see 1 June conditions report here), but things continue to melt quick. Not so quick though that you do not need ice axe and foot traction of some sort just in case. The snow is already soft by 7am every day since temperatures do not reach freezing overnight so prepare to posthole often (and sometimes deep). Misery loves company though so do it with your tramily and have some laughs at the ridiculousness of it all along the way!

    Note: The bottom right photo below is taken from the top of the cornice looking south.
