Contrary to the comments in the below posting I would not agree that the PC=
T I hiked in 2002 was "excellently signed." I found it difficult to find th=
e trail when it crossed highways where the trial was offset from one side t=
o the other. I found miles of trail where only local land marks are indicat=
ed on signs, without any mention of the PCT. I found places where only the =
north bound direction is signed. I met a ranger putting up brand new signs =
which did not mention the PCT. In short the signing on the PCT is a mess an=
d can not be relied on to find the trail.

I agree the trail is well marked and the guidebook maps are fine. I suppose
if you're trying to pick up sections by day hiking, the FS maps may have so=

advantages.
