Hurricane Irene Closing Down Parts of the Appalachian Trail – Updated 9/16/11

Friday, August 26th, 2011
8/26/11 14:00 Just saw on White Blaze that Hurricane Irene is closing down the trail. The White Mountain Natonal Forest is closing the entire trail system and so is the AMC huts and other shelter areas. Baxter State Park is also closed at least through Monday. There will be high winds, torrential rains, flash floods and afterwards - blowdowns and trail damage from upper PA through to Maine.
