Another vote for the out-and-back from Harts Pass. That country is
absolutely beautiful; very rugged; some of the best scenery on the PCT. 

The only downer is the lack of any public transportation to the nearest town
(Winthrop), from which you would have to hitch first to Mazama and then up
to Harts Pass. You really need a vehicle, and this opens a great option.
Find a spouse, friend, etc. to go with you for a week. Fly into and rent a
car in either Seattle or Spokane. Drive to Harts Pass and leave the car in
one of the large parking lots. Both of you hike the 30 miles to the border
and then back to the car. You resupply from the car and head south while
your partner takes the car and goes home.
