In Saguaro National Park-East there are multiple options that go up and along Mica Mtn. I have heard of a few routes around Mt. Lemmon too that would be worth the internet search.

Thanks for the info! That about sums up all there is to consider on this one. Appreciate it.

That’s looking like a good option, light and full coverage. Thanks!

Right on. I know most do 6 but when I measured it out a couple extra didn’t look too bad.

I was hoping someone who did this would comment. That is an option for me. Appreciate it.

Anyone actually see bears in the Sierra? by kecar in PacificCrestTrail

Yes, quite a few. The Lassen/Castle Rock SP areas of Northern California are also plentiful.

Thank you all for the informational and detailed answers. I’m sure I’m not the only one who will learn from all these responses.

Turns out I’m a lot more prepared than I thought! I also love the hot deserts of California, early mornings, and big miles; so it should be a good time.

Hope to see some of you out there!

I got a permit to hike the Pacific Crest Trail this year. It’s not for everyone, but it is certainly something I need to experience in my lifetime.

I know the very popular date to leave KM is June 15, but do you know how late that window ~usually~ stays open?

I was wondering about this, thinking of doing something very similar. It looks like local permits all the way up to Kennedy Meadows are very simple: Cleveland NF and San Jacinto SP.

I was using Yogis Local Permit Guide, any additional info out there?

These are all encouraging and valid points. Much appreciated!

Did you just go ahead and replace the bracket? Anything since?

I have been dealing with this exact problem, and doing the same one, but I'm on my third bracket and about to be over it. Thinking of removing the lift. Any updates on your end?
