[pct-l] High elevation desert

[Nathan Miller]

>It’s my understanding there is a classification know as high elevation 
desert. Bend, OR, (towards the east of OR) is an example as is probably a good 
portion of the PCT through OR. The coastal portion of OR is your wetter areas 
such as Salem and Portland.

I don't think I've heard of HED.  I'd imagine that the official designations are to some extent arbitrary and that there's a fair amount of overlap, blurriness, ambiguity and subjectivity.
