[pct-l] Oregon Section Hikers

[AsABat]

I hiked Etna to I5 last year and it was horrible. The flowers were blooming so abundantly they overthrew the trail in places and we had to push our way through huge bouquets of flowers.

Yes, that's sarcasm. And the views in the Suskiyous were awesome. Yes there's a big climb our of Seiad and it can be hot. I left Seiad at 4 am to beat the heart, hitting the open ridge top views at sunrise so I won there too. (I caught up on my sleep with a pleasant NATO atty Kangaroo Spring.)

I respectfully disagree. I think the PCT between the state border and Hwy 
I-5 is stunning if you hike it during the flowering season. The views are 
better than anywhere else in Southern Oregon until you hit the very short 
high section of Sky Lakes Wilderness Area. I certainly would not want to have 
missed it!

There are some interesting plants growing on the serpentinites and 
peridotites south of Mt. Ashland that you won't see north of there.
