If you have the time, a slack pack option can easily be had from the Shadowcliff Hostel of roughly<br>25 miles and 3000' gain. Esp with a day pack, doable for many thru-hikers. No permit or bear canister needed for day hiking. :)<br><br><br><br><div><span><br></span></div><div> </div><div>----------------------------<br>Paul "Mags"
