[pct-l] north OR / south WA sections

[judson at jeffnet.org (Judson Brown)]

Does it have to be the PCT? If so, it'll be tough snow wise.

If not, try the Columbia Gorge Trail, 40ish mi. from Angel's Rest in the W
to, um, Wyeth Campground (I think) in the E. I used it as a return for a
loop I did in the area, and it was quite pleasant.

There is also the Oregon Coast Trail, a mixture of beach walking, trails,
and some roads. It's 60 mi. from the mouth of the Columbia to Tillamook, and
you can stop sooner pretty much anywhere you want.

Subject: [pct-l] north OR / south WA sections


I live in Portland and am itching to do a section or two this spring.
Looking for sections anywhere from 20 to 50 miles long, up to about 3 or 4
driving hours away from Portland, either north or south.  Any helpful info
about tough river crossings, snowpack, or other need-to-know tidbits are
much appreciated, as well.

Are there nice sized sections using the Columbia River as a put in or take
out?  Those would be ideal, as a weekend warrior.

If there are "must do" sections within this area realm, lay 'em on me!  URLs
of online resources to find PCT sections is also appreciated (not having
much luck with that so far, hence this posting).

Many thanks
