[pct-l] SoCal PCT Hikes

[pdascalos at gmail.com (Peter Dascalos)]

Just some notes on these sections, but I am sure most of you know this all
ready. Very rarely is something all one direction, and in both these section
there is some up!
The Section A part you will hike into and out of two canyons, Chariot and
Rodriguez as well as a lot of up and down as you traverse Granite Mountain.
As for the part of Section C, not only at the beginning will you run into
some climbing. There are a couple of canyons to climb out of going south.
You will come up out of Mission Creek as well as White Water River Canyons.
Hope this helps, hike on!
