[pct-l] Entering PCT at Castle Crags from Dunsmuir

[CClark]

We plan to take Amtrak, disembark at Dunsmuir, and hike north from there.  That means we'll be getting off the train during the night.  Have any of you readers done this? What route should we follow from the train station to the PCT?  Can we hike this in the dark, or does traffic make it too dangerous?  Should we try to book a room in Dunsmuir?  If so, any recommendations? 

And finally -- given this year's snowpack, does July 2 look like a reasonable start date to avoid hiking through a lot of snow? 

Thanks,
Clipper
