Hi Packman... I could only identify four of them.

pic #1 (5/18) -- Heuchera micrantha (Small-flowered Alumroot)
pic #4 (7/12) -- Dichelostemma multiflorum (Roundtooth Ookow)
pic #5 (7/12) -- ? Mimulus lewisii (Lewis' Monkyeflower) ??, but it's a 
monkeyflower.
pic #6 (7/25) -- probably Epilobium siskiyouense (Siskiyou Fireweed) - 
or E. rigidum (Rigid Fireweed)
Not sure going by just one photo, but if it's 
taken at a high elevation, like more or less 7000' it's
Siskiyou ; if taken at lower elevation, it's 
Rigid.

pic #7 (8/19) -- Luetkea pectinata (Partridgefoot)

Enjoyed your flower photos. Happy hiking and botanizing!...... -AP

Just start on Labor Day from Idyllwild. Make sure, however, to hike between the Pines-to-Palms highway and Idyllwild, which is one of the great legs on the PCT. Hike as far south as you can during time off Whether or not you get to Canada will depend on how motivated you are. However, I will suggest that getting to Canada is the least important aspect of a PCT hike.
