[pct-l] Two Weeks - where to go?

[patti kulesz]

I think the CREST bus take reservations the day before tho or even early the 
same day for the later buses if I remember correctly. I'd hike south on the JMT 
if I were you...not only do u get the elevation slower but you don't end up in 
the valley in the end which is FULL of tourist...to me not a great way to end 
2-3 weeks in the beautiful quiet wilderness!

Hi Glenn:

You can fly into Reno, catch the CREST to Lee Vining, and pick up the 
YARTS bus to Tuolomne Meadows.  If you don't have enough time then you 
can take the CREST to Mammoth and start at Reds Meadow.

Then you can catch the CREST bus in Lone Pine and take it back to the 
Reno Airport.  Note the CREST bus runs only on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 
and Friday.  They require reservations.

10- 12 miles a day is a nice pace for the JMT if you've not hiked much 
above 10,000'.
