GLACIER - Glacier Creek Road has been closed to vehicle traffic at Thompson Creek Bridge because of a washout - about seven miles from the start of the heavily used Heliotrope Ridge Trail.
The trail, which begins in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and enters Mount Baker Wilderness, is popular with hikers when the snow melts out, and is a major access route for climbers heading up Mount Baker.
"It's a pretty substantial impact," said Tim Page, program coordinator for American Alpine Institute in Bellingham. "The bulk of the climbing in the summer season goes up the Coleman-Deming route or various other routes that start from the trailhead off that road."
Volunteers working with the Washington Trails Association contributed nearly 100,000 hours of work across the state this year. The nearly 2,700 volunteers contributed $2 million worth of service to state’s public lands, according to the group.
Chinese authorities say rainstorms that battered southern China this week have killed 33 people and left 12 people missing.
