apparent and well marked.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The one
exception I remember is in certain portions in the Mojave between Cottonwood
Bridge, mile 534.8, and the Tehachapi-Willow Springs Highway, mile 558.3.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That area had been heavily used by
dirt-bikers who both cross and follow the PCT.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There were lots of signs where the more
well-used bike trails cross, but many of them were down.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I hiked that area a bit earlier than
most of the crowd so there weren’t many footprints to follow.<SPAN

aggravation that required some scouting.</FONT></P>

first several sections?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have two questions. First, is the first several sections of
the PCT very well marked, Cause i've been on long distance hikes where it has
been very well marked, and others where you might as well guess where the
trail goes. Also what are the temps for so cal through Feb? <BR>
