I say the PCT should end at the top  of Mt. McKinley.  

When planning my hike I confired with the famous wilderness writer and 
adventurer, Roderick Nash, who was teaching in the environment dept. at UCSB back in 
the late '70's.  Upon hearing of my plans he challenged me to do something 
perhaps no other had done rather than just follow in the footsteps of many 
others; that is walk across British Columbia.  I considered this for a month or two 
and did some research and realized that this would be way outside of my 
experience, equipment familiarity and perhaps capability for handling the 
loneliness of such a solitary venture.  

Only later did I realize that about 4 dozen sets of footprints had proceeded 
me on this trail.
