[pct-l] Thru-hiking SOBO/Harts Pass

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Just remembering back to the days I hiked through Rainy Pass and  
Harts Pass, I recall that Harts Pass was crawling with people. Tons  
of cars in the parking lot and people day hiking all over that road  
that goes up to that mountain top. (I'm betting it was a Saturday.)

Rainy Pass also had a lot of people, but less than Hart's Pass.  
(Probably was a Friday.) I'm sure there's more traffic and it's  
probably easier to get to Rainy than Harts, but Harts is far from a  
deserted outpost, at least as far as my minimal experience goes.

Dang. There goes my post count again.
