[pct-l] denied entry to canada

[Bob Bankhead]

The PCT ends at the US/Canadian border at Monument 78. It does not go into Canada although most hikers do.

>From there, another trail continues north for 7 miles, ending at Highway 3. You turn left and walk almost a mile west to Manning Park Lodge, from which you can catch a bus into Vancouver BC for your return home.

Your non-Canadian entry alternative would be to retrace your steps to either Harts Pass (39 miles) or Rainy Pass (69 miles) and you'd still have to hitch from either location. Your first real public transportation opportunity is all the way back in Steheken.

  Just a thought. I have not hiked the pct into canada and do not know how far
  it goes in. If it is not to far could one just hike in and and hike out in
  the same day? this might be a way to avoid the problem.
