[pct-l] recommendations for very small accessible sections for visiting foreigners

[Paul Robison]

are they on a specific time crunch?

in my opinion, the earlier in the trail the better (for you) because you aren't 
going to want to slow down in washington and oregon to the 10 miles a day they 
might do... especially with winter coming, etc.  i nthe earlier stretches you 
will be doing less mileage, and in the REAL early stretches the trail is very 
well graded and maintained.

if it's both your folks, they could rent separate cars;  park one at the cajon 
pass, then drive together to big bear, and walk that stretch with you.  do they 
have the needed gear for such a trip ? that piece certainly is scenic... 


it's going to be really determined by when they can fly out here.  in general 
resupply sections are closer to the trail in the beginning as well.

i have told my fam / friends, that if they want to come see me to make it as 
close to the start as possible, or be prepared for long grueling days.

g'day, my folks are quite keen to join me for a wee bit of my hike - they're
highly experienced walkers, however mum's hips are starting to restrict her
distances. they'd be flying over from australia (and doing other things
while they were visiting north america), so transport is potentially an
issue - and gear may also determine where they can go. i was wondering if
anyone could recommend small sections (<120km) of the pct which were
particularly scenic or spectacular but also relatively accessible?

thanks heaps, skids.
