Anyone here ever done any hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail?
No.

Only about an eight mile section on Mt. Hood, so I'm sure that, whatever your question is, I will not be able to adequately answer it.

Heh. When did you hike that portion, dersins? What was the scenery like?
posted by sciurus 29 September | 12:05
I have hiked a good portion of it, through the years.

All of it in Central Oregon, between Highway 58 and Mt. Jefferson.

The scenery is beyond spectacular. A hard hike in a lot of places.

Yar, but only a few mile stretch, probably the one dersins has done... I don't think I've got the info you're lookin' for.

Unless you want to know about bees, babies, beer, or sugar gliders.

The short section I did was part of where it overlaps with the Timberline trail on Mt. Hood, North(ish) from Timberline Lodge in the general direction of the Columbia river. It was beautiful.

A lot of fucking flies in the woodsier bits, but fucking beautiful.

Spectacular views, a few slightly hairy river crossings, and much less crowded than I expected given that it was a beautiful summer weekend.

You have to let me know when you're passing through the Portland area. I'll come and be your beer-distributing trail angel...

Will do. my man. :)
