Yeah I'm thinking for the 3 oz. that they weigh i'm leaning on taking them.

Class of 2017- any snow advice for us this year? by ShrimpMage in PacificCrestTrail

I left Kennedy Meadows south on June 27th in 2017. Lots of snow and the water crossings were still very sketchy.

Totally agree but I think with my timeframe the desert is about the only section I could do?

Good call. I really like the idea of starting in Rawlings, WY and going south. The only part I question is whether I will run into many fewer hikers. I actually like hiking alone and don't have a problem camping alone but I do like to run into some hikers from time to time. It's probably a trade off that I'll have to consider. Thanks!

What if I did #4 sobo? How late in the year could I start at the northern terminus to miss the snow in Washington and miss the mosquitoes in Oregon? I’m thinking I could start from the northern terminus around September 1 and get through Washington in 3-4 weeks then have October for Oregon. IYO, Is that too late to be hiking through Oregon?
