[pct-l] Tyndall Creek mile 775 from the west?

[Susan Virnig]

NOTE:  having trouble sending to the listserve so am trying piggybacking on
David’s request.


I’m a section hiker from Spokane and you all have been very helpful in the
past.  I’m trying to get into the PCT around mile 775 by Tyndall Creek, to
have a continuous connection.  (Last year left via Shepherd Pass, which is
a crazy trail — 9000’ elevation gain/loss in 6 miles.)

Currently have a permit to go back into Shepherd Pass, but am wondering if
there is a way from the west to get back up to the PCT that is not quite so
steep and hopefully better maintained.  Any suggestions?

Over the next couple of weekends I hope to fill in some gaps in section J,
from Boulder Lake trail junction (north of Sonora Pass) to Parkdale Summit
(just north of The Nipple, Lost Lakes, and Upper Blue Lake).

This late in a drought year I expect the ice chute issues on Raymond Peak
are manageable. No other issues are listed in section J on pcta.org.
Anybody know anything different?

Smoke issues are moderate in this area at the moment from the Electra Fire.
The Washburn Fire is an issue further south in Yosemite. The next few
days are supposed to be windy, so hopefully nothing new is ignited.
