Since this is a PCT list, ...

Personally, I wouldn't go to the PCT for solitude. There are much more less
advertised and taken advantage of places I go to for that. Before Wild I
reasonably expected to not find solitude on an internationally famous trail.

I understand the desire to save the more wild places from excess humanity,
but that just can't happen on a very thin corridor, the majority of which
is beyond the reach of any normal regulation or law enforcement activities
and access.

Just my opinion, which you asked for.
