[pct-l] PCT help in the LA area

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Your best bet is to go hike in the Sierras. You can get to Lone Pine  
from Los Angeles in about 5 hours or so if you have a car. You will  
not have a good time hiking at low altitude in Southern California  
and there aren't enough long stretches at high altitude near Los  
Angeles on the PCT to last for 10 days.
