I hear that Lyell Canyon is currently a big slush-fest and I'm really not keen on fording rivers that are more snow than water. Does anyone have some good suggestions for 4-6 day loop hikes on PCT at elevations that won't involve too much snow and that are within easy (<8 hours) driving distance of San Francisco? I've considered Echo Lake to Donner Pass (and hitching back) but I hear it's 1-4ft deep there too, which would be good in winter but now that it's melting I figure I'll spend more time post-holing than actual hiking.
