Hi All! My friend & I turn 50 next year, and we're celebrating the milestone by planning a 10 day trip out west to visit Yosemite and other great sections on or near the PCT. We'll be flying into Sacramento, renting a car, and visiting must-see sights on the PCT between Yosemite and Mount Rainier. We'd like to hike some small sections as well,, no more than 1-2 nights each, 10-30 milers. So my question to those of you who've hiked the PCT, what sections of the trail should we not miss, that are relatively easy to get to by car, w/ a 1 to 2 day hike in? Thanks for any suggestions!
Also, we were planning either a September or early October trip. We'd rather not deal with super cold weather. Is October pushing the limits?
