[pct-l] PCT through Agnew Meadows

[Phil Baily]

I agree, the views from the High Trail are wonderful! As I recall, 
the southern part of the JMT section you skip is very dusty. You do 
get to Shadow Lake which is very pretty. Otherwise you don't really 
see much that is that pretty. As I recall the two routes join at or 
near Thousand Island Lake which is also worth seeing. I think the 
High Trail is the more scenic.
