With it snowing, we thought it best to hike past Lakeview Ridge instead of 
getting stuck and camped at Hopkins Lake some 25... miles starting from Harts 
Pass, so it is doable roundtrip, in two or three days for a strong hiker.  I 
might add, although I had a few, I didn't average 20 mpd on the AT, nor would I 
attempt to.

To each their own, but why bother with the logistics, since the last few 
miles to Manning Park aren't official PCT and imo, aren't noteworthy.

YMMV,
