West Rim Trail in PA

[Pootz]

Has anyone hiked the West Rim Trail in PA recently. Thinking about hiking this trail again and was wondering about trail conditions: blow downs, water?

I hiked elsewhere last weekend with a local and he said there were a number of blowdowns on the south half of WRT. That local with first-hand info checks the Mid-Atlantic regional forum at backpacker.com.

All of Cedar Run, Slate Run, and Landrus were hammered on Memorial Day weekend 2011. By way of illustration three solid days were expended chain-sawing out the MST at Landrus.

Thank you for the info. I have seen a lot of blow-downs on other trails in north-centrial PA. The spring storn made a big mess of things.
