[pct-l] peaks along the PCT

[bodhisattvavow at hotmail.com (Hotmail)]

Devils peak in Southern Oregon is, I think, about a quarter mile off the
trail.  It would be hikeable but very steep.  Also, I seem to remember one
called Alaska Peak (I could barely see it for the fog) that is right near
Joe Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Peace and Love, Matt

interrupt a continuous hike?  Well, what peaks near the PCT could be hiked
in the same alternate-route fashion?
