[pct-l] Best map - Manning to Stehekin

[Bob Bankhead]

Check your local outdoor stores - REI, Adventure 16, etc. - you may still find a copy of the old USDA USFS map series on the entire PCT. You'll want the "PCNST Washington Northern Portion"  map.

You can also look for the Green Trail maps of the same area. They're kept current, use a large (1:69,500) scale, but show all the trails in the area. You'll need about 6 maps, maybe more if you take the highly recommened temporary re-route around the flood damaged section near Glacier Peak.

  I plan to walk from Manning to Stehekin some time in August.  I think getting the entire Washington book or PCT handbook would be overkill for this relatively short hike where I don't plan to resupply.  

  What is the best resource for a good topo map for this jaunt?  I looked on mytopo.com, but I don't see the PCT marked by name, so I wasn't sure if I was fully covering the trail.  

  Is there anything else I should be aware of other than the need for cash in Stehekin?  

  I will have my US passport, but I'm under the impression that nobody really checks the re-entry to the US?

  Is the Manning Lodge near the trail head, and can I get a good breakfast there before hitting the trail?

  Thanks in advance,

  Sarah
