More recent info from the FS website - hopefully they can get BOTW open before the snow comes:


Effective September 18, 2010

Bull of the Woods Wilderness remains closed.

There has been extensive damage to some trails
from burned out roots which had supported the trail bed and there are
many hazardous snags.

Trail #544 from Bagby Hot Springs to Elk Lake is
open, however all trails and the area east of trail #544 in the
Wilderness are closed. Several roads to the east and south of the
Wilderness remain closed.

Pacific Crest Trail: The
entire section of the trail that runs through the Mt. Jefferson
Wilderness and the Olallie Lake Scenic Area on the Mt. Hood National
Forest is open.

Camping along the trail between Jefferson Park and
the northern boundary of the Wilderness is prohibited as an area closure
remains in effect.

Crews continue to monitor the fire, which could
continue to burn through the fall. The shuttle service around the
closure area has been discontinued.

Olallie Lake Scenic Area: All
trails in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area, except for Mon-Olallie Trail
#732 and Trail #729 on the north side of Monon Lake, are open.

Trails #729 and #732 remain closed due to hazards posed by burned-out snags.

Forest Road 4220 through the Scenic Area including the section from Forest Road 46 to Breitenbush Lake Campground is open.
