[pct-l] SoCal in winter

[Jona Schuman]

I'd like to do a week-long section hike near LA at the end of
January/beginning of February. I was thinking of starting at Cajon
Pass and heading west over the San Gabriels. Having never hiked in
SoCal (I'm from the northeast) I'm wondering if any could advise me on
what conditions to expect. Do any parts of this section of the PCT
reach elevations where snow will be a problem? Will snowshoes and full
crampons be required? What night-time temperatures should I expect?

I'm not looking for a winter alpine excursion, so are the San Gabriels
doable or should I just hike somewhere else?

Many thanks,
Jona
