[MCR] Asulkan Approach Trail (Final Bridge)

Hi Folks,

Trail crew in GNP have been and continue to be working 
really hard to get infrastructure back in place as a result of damage from June's
 flooding and the extensive avalanche destruction from last winter.  
Most everything has been replaced and/or repaired because of their 
hard work but the avy debris depth has not allowed for the replacement 
of the final bridge (after the 'mousetrap' but before the 'tree 
triangle' at roughly 1675 metres) on the way to the Asulkan Hut.  

In the normal spot where the bridge used to be are many jumbled and broken timber and avalanche debris which is being undercut by the creek.  These factors could pose a risk so we are 
recommending avoidance until the bridge can be replaced.  If you have a 
trip up in the Asulkan Hut and you must cross the creek we would
 strongly advise for people to cross early in the morning when the water
 levels are low and use exercise good judgement and common sense.

Take Care,
