There are not bridges anymore at this junction. Drakesbad is closed in 2022, mostly because of the damage that the Dixie Fire caused in 2021, when a tree fell on a electrical distribution line and started the fire.

Hiking

Highly recommended here to do the short detour to the Drakesbad Hot Springs, where in 'normal' years PCT hikers can enjoy a free bath in the hot spring pool, showers, and can buy food or even have packages delivered. Service can be interrupted, like during COVID in 2020 and wildfires in 2022, so check in advance. Along the way a quick look at Dream Lake is a beautiful side spur. After Drakesbad a quick quarter mile trail east along the road rejoins the PCT at the large campground.
