[pct-l] Northern California/Oregon Section Hike Suggestions

[Edward Anderson]

Gosh, Deems - your pictures bring back memories of great journeys I've had in the Trinities. Guess I will have to return. As Schroomer says, you don't see that from the PCT. Your pictures are wonderful.

I've hiked the Trinity Alps since 1985, and it's my favorite local 
wilderness area.  I'd hate to have only 2 weeks to try to explore it in 
detal,  I probably won't live long enough to see it all!  Here's a few links 
to good photo websites that I've found that show the beauty of the Trinity 
Alps. You can also see the Russians, and Marbles within these galleries, 
which the PCT passes through.  Billy Goat told me his favorite PCT section 
is I-5 to Seiad Valley.

Just to expand a bit more, if you've hiked the Trinity section of the PCT
you only glimpsed the actual "alps" from a great distance, not even as
close as you get to Rainier, another great mountain that you really don't
get to experience on the PCT.  But hiking into the Trinity Alps themselves
is incredible.  Don't think you've really seen them from the PCT, and
anybody who loved that section, which I totally do, should take a week or
two to explore them in detail.  They are craggy and grand just like the
High Sierra and WA Cascades, only a smaller mountain range in total.  Like
the Olympics in WA, it's one of the few places in America where you have
tundra and Alpine habitat so close to an ocean.
