[pct-l] Section Hike

[Shifali Gupta]

Hi Claire,

Thanks for starting this thread. I was thinking along the same lines -
section hike from Kennedy Meadows to Ashland or Crater Lake (still deciding
the end point).

Scott, thanks for the pointer. Do we have a general snow forecast for the
summer? Also, what would be the best way to train for snow hiking,
especially in Sequoia and Yosemite Valley? I've read that crossing the
passes while there's snow can be a little dicey.

Thanks,
Shifali
