[pct-l] Pct suggestions 7 days central California

[Brick Robbins]

If you choose to go from Echo Lake on the PCT, there is a backpacker's
parking lot above the Echo Lake boat launching ramp where you can
leave your car

Make sure you get your wilderness permit for the Desolation Wilderness
early, as it is one of the most popular wilderness area in the Sierra.

Also, Bear Cans are recommended for that area, as there is quite a bit
of habituated Bear activity.

If you can hitch into Truckee then you can get back to Tahoe City via
TART. From there getting around the lake to South lake Tahoe is not
that difficult

Here is a bunch of shuttle information

>> second that.  We live not too far from Tahoe, that section is incredible, and the southern half of that section is not as dry as others, though it will still be dry given the season and the year!  Plus it's really the only PCT section "near" Tahoe, depending on how you define "near".  Enjoy!  If you need shuttle help, post here and also consider posting on the Tahoe Rim Trail Association lists(s).  As a bonus, if the timing works out, you can stop for chow during the shuttle in Truckee or Tahoe City (Bridgetender is one winner) or South Lake Tahoe or anywhere in between.
