Be advised - as of 2011, the Desolation Wilderness (the PCT passes through
this for many miles) on the west side of Lake Tahoe was seriously
considering mandating bear canisters because the bears were getting
habituated to people.

As of last summer (2013) there was no canister requirement in the Desolation
Wilderness, and it's actually only about 22-ish miles from one end to the
other (if memory serves - don't have a map handy right now) so it's actually
quite feasible to hike through in a single day.
