[pct-l] side trips

[Devon Taig]

The South and Middle Sister are really just long walks up scree.  South,
despite being the tallest, is the easiest.  North is for more experience
mountaineers and many use ropes on it.  Mt. McLoughlin in southern Oregon
is a great side excursion and not too long or hard.  The Sky Lakes
alternate and Stewart Falls route south of Crater Lake could be a side
excursion I suppose, but are best done as an alternative to the PCT.  Those
are both wonderful.
