Looking for Pros and Cons for PCT in 2021

[Ethesis]

June start at Ashland, Oregon, head north to the terminus and then head south from Ashland to Mexico. ​

Can use all the section permits for Washington.

I suppose it depends on how much it snows this coming winter. I didn't think permits were needed for Washington?

Sounds very reasonable, I like it, I might copycat given how my PCT attempt this year went t!t$ up.... The easy terrain in OR will be a nice warmup, but as Slo said, if 2020-21 is a heavy snow winter in WA, that might be annoying. I suppose you could always just shift your start point 2 weeks or so south into Northern CA, something like that.

Southern CA in the fall would be awesome too. Again, I like it.

I think be flexible, set your expectations low so you won’t be surprised
