UPDATE: The bridge was destroyed during the snow melt in 2023. Possible detour: take Minaret Road from Reds Meadow and rejoin the PCT at Upper Soda Springs campground.

(Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, you will not have to get wet feet, since there is a nice wooden bridge that gets you over the raging San Joaquin River. If you turn right after the crossing, you get to Soda Springs Campground that is just a few yards away.)
