[pct-l] Re: pct-l Digest, Vol 4, Issue 22

[kublakhanpics at mindspring.com (Dennis B)]

FAVORITE PART OF PCT?

Unfortunately I couldn't do my planned thru hike this year.  I have the last
three weeks in September free for a solo.  Can you folks list some of your
favorite three week (or so) long sections well suited for Sept?  I like
hikes that include alpine, rolling valleys and dense forests.   Level of
difficulty isn't an issue but peace and quiet is.

Thanks in advance,
Kubla
