Why not hike north to south, starting in Washington in early spring?
- bjwbell 11y agoYou won't get very far in spring. The PCT in Washington goes through the north cascades, which has one of the deepest snowpacks in north america.
- GigabyteCoin 11y agoAlright, leave in Summertime then. I don't think the winters in southern cali are too tough..
- rconti 11y agoYou might find the Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevada (13,153ft) difficult to deal with in the snow. In fact, the many 10k+ft sections of the PCT in California are likely the reason not to start EARLIER than April. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forester_Pass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forester_Pass
