[pct-l] peaks along the PCT



You know how Eagle Creek is an alternate which leaves the PCT but doesn't interrupt a continuous hike?  Well, what peaks near the PCT could be hiked in the same alternate-route fashion?    
 
I'm talking about HIKING, not climbing.  That means Thielsen is out.  
 
Nothing involving crampons and ice axes, so Rainier is out.  
 
I'm looking for peaks that you can walk to the top of using reasonable-length alternates (not 50-mile roundtrips).  Here's what I've come up with so far:
 
San Jacinto
Baden-Powell
Olancha
Whitney
Sierra Buttes
Lassen
McLoughlin
South Sister
 
yogi
