I’ve been keeping a close eye on the snow. Even further south at San Jacinto it’s not really passable right now. I am leaving a bit earlier in the season but I will try to not hike too fast. I have heard others say that some trails I’ve done are much harder than the PCT, so that seems about right.

The Hayduke was an amazing trail and ended up not being as sketchy as some have purported. Still challenging though with the unknown water supply and lack of actual trail for most of it. But still a very special and great route to do.

Hope all works out for you. For me, the PCT was one of the easier hikes in terms of physical challenge. It was a nice blend of solo hiking (back in 2008) and hiking with others. Not sure which I like best.
In spite of the snow storms reported in the news, it appears (via postholer.com) that the Sierra snow pack will be close to average at this point. Happy hiking! I had to interrupt my hike for two nephews’ weddings so didn’t leave Kennedy Meadows until June 3, 2010. There was still snow in and approaching the passes, but it was passable.

P.S. I need to read your Hayduke blog. That’s the only trail from which I bailed and the only one that had me fearing for my life.

I managed about 1.5 times the daily miles I hiked on the AT. Beware the very high snowfall this year in the Sierras.
