[pct-l] Eagle Creek Trail mileage

[ambery-80243 at mypacks.net]

According to a Green Trails map I have, it looks about 4 miles longer if you stay on the official PCT.  Having done both, I know that the stretch off the Benson Plateau is just a bunch of viewless switchbacks, so even if it were shorter, I'd still opt for the Eagle Creek alternate!

>I'm planning to hike Oregon Section G next month.  I'm thinking of taking the Eagle Creek alternate route, but I'd like to know how it compares with the official PCT with regard to distance.  I've looked in the guidebook, but don't see it mentioned.  Are they about the same, or is one longer than the other?
