[pct-l] Which airport provides easiest access to Kennedy Meadows?

[walt Durling]

I think flying into Reno is probably the easiest to access the PCT near KM. Andrea's ideas are sound.  The ESTA has a bus stop at the airport I think.  They run the bus once a day north and south along the 395 corridor.  You can take the bus to Inyokern, or Bishop, or Independence, or Lone Pine.  You might want to check out eastsidesierrashuttle.com. Once you arrive at one of these towns, you can resupply and then arrange with the shuttle company to shuttle you to KM or a pct trailhead nearby. Walt
