This section of Yew Thicket Trail is obscured by fire damage. With GPS it's easy to navigate back to it and avoid any major mishaps. Staying generally left (eastward) of the cliff band gets you where you want to go.

Looking down into Sycamore Canyon much of the forest in this region was spared fire damage.

Looking toward Perkinsville and Woodchute Wilderness you can see the path of the fire from right to left.

This section is "black diamond" or worse. I navigated it fairly easily but some treefall and washed out trail on scree slope was somewhat sketchy.
