[pct-l] Hiking WA in July

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good afternoon, David,



In an average year July is a good time to start – particularly northbound
from the Columbia -- and this is a low snow year in the Pacific NW.
http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/cgibin/westsnow.pl  There may be some residual
snowpack in sheltered areas but not likely anything serious.



This week we were clobbered with several feet of fresh snow above 4,000 ft.
elevation but it will go off fairly quickly.
