[pct-l] Resupply strategies

[Bob Bankhead]

An earlier and less expensive alternate (because you can't eat, shower, or stay there) to Vermillion Valley is Muir Trail Ranch, about 21 miles south of VVR. This is especially nice if you are planning to carry all the way from Kennedy Meadows so as to skip going out to Independence via Kearsarge Pass to Onion Valley. See http://www.muirtrailranch.com/resupply.html

>From Kennedy Mdws to:

Onion Valley = 96 miles + 9 miles back to PCT
MTR = 153 miles + 0.8 miles back up to PCT
VVR = 175 miles + 1-2 miles back to PCT

Reds Mdw Resort is 50 miles north of MTR.

  Great advice Elevator!  

   

  Ø  Warner Springs - send to PO

    

  I could be wrong, but I think if you’re planning on staying at the resort you can send a package there.  Great place to take a break anyway – shouldn’t be missed IMHO.

   

  Ø  Tuolummne Meadows - send to PO (missed this because PO was not open due to high snow when we passed through)

   

  I noticed in 07 that the Tuolummne store was really well stocked, some high quality stuff – would be one place where it’d be quick & easy to do a quality resupply.
