[pct-l] Planning ahead

[m.karon@attbi.com (Marshall Karon)]

>From Portland (presuming in summer after July 4th):

    1) PCT North from Cascade Locks to White Pass - the Goat Rocks are
awesome. Probably want to do it late July on;

    2) Timberline Trail around Mt. Hood - but that is only 2-3 nights (could
be done in 1 night, but that is pushing it - unless you jog).

    3) Sisters /Bend
              Loop from McKenzie pass south on West side then back on East
side.

     4) McKenzie pass north to Ollalie Lake or Mt. Hood  (Mt. Washington,
Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson)

     5) Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier

      6) Northern California: Trinity Alps

      7) Eastern Oregon - Eagle Cap Wilderness
