[pct-l] Transportation

[Randy Forsland]

You can take Greyhound to Truckee. The PCT crosses I-80 just north of there.
An easy hitch/hike.

Or you can take Amtrak to Yosemite. It stops in Merced and transfers you to
a Shuttle to yosemite valley. From there you can catch a shuttle to Toulumne
or the YARTS shuttle to Mammoth. At mammoth ski resort, there is a shuttle
to the Reds meadow PCT trailhead.

I have taken public transportation to many PCT trailheads (Ashland, Cascade
Locks, etc) Its a little time consuming but its nice not to have to worry
about a car at the trailhead.
