[pct-l] how well marked are the first several sections?

[Donna Saufley]

Overall it is very well marked and easy to follow.  There are a few spots
where it might be confusing, but hopefully you won’t be merely guessing and
will use your map and compass (or GPS) to determine the right way to go.  We
lost a hiker who died because he guessed the wrong way just a few years ago.

 

Temps for So Cal in February can range from the 90s to well below freezing,
you just don’t know what you’ll get when.  The mountains ranges can have
extreme weather, and a good deal of snow early in the season.  The deserts
can get down to near freezing at night even in the summer, so you can expect
the same and even colder in February.  We generally have storm events all
the way into early April, and have seen some wicked weather as late as June.

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?
