It is a continuous footpath with reasonable alternatives. I'm on the AT right now. Early on in the hike there were many conversations among the hikers about how many 2017 PCT hikers had gotten their completion medal(evidenced by Facebook pictures) who,it was well known,had skipped (yellow blazed) sections of the trail.

> Please do not send in an application for a Triple Crown if you are not finished with all of each of the 3 trails. 
> Be proud of what you did do ,not lie about what you did not. No one has to do these trails. The Triple Crown means something. A continuous footpath.
