[pct-l] north OR / south WA sections

[dajada at gmail.com (David)]

Another pleasant hike is Diamond Peak Loop. As I recall it's about 30
miles, although it could be stretched out via side trips.  It starts
by Odell lake which is about 3 hours from Portland.  Check out Doug
Loraine's book which I think is called Backpacking Oregon.  This loop,
as well as many others, is described in detail.
