Me and a buddy are planning on section hiking from DP to CD sometime in April or May. I was wondering a few things:

  • Is it permitted or can you get away with hammock camping on this section of the trail?
  • Do you have to have a shelter permit if you aren't going to sleep at a shelter?
  • Anybody here stealth camped this section and gotten a ticket/fine? If so, how much? Any lessons learned would be nice to hear about.
  • What's the weather like at this time of year?
  • Does anyone have a preferred itinerary/places to camp on this route?


Thanks for any responses I get.
