The Trinity Alps Wilderness near the Oregon border is Sierra-like and has self-issuing permits at kiosks.
Just to the east of the Trinities, PCT Section P from Castle Crags to Etna Summit is just under 100 miles and I've seen it written up as an interesting individual through-hike section.? At least Kauffmann's
Conifer Country speaks positively of it
. ? Scenery mixes Sierra-like granite terrain with red-rock geology (peridotite, serpentinite, and other mafic rocks).? My experience up there is limited -- I have more in the Trinities -- but I'm thinking this will be a good year to spend time exploring the Klamath Range since they are getting plenty of precip this winter while the southern Sierra is not.? No permit issues.? I'm personally not a through hiker, but I am looking at maybe two different loop trips or in-or-outs in the Klamath Range somewhere in June / July.?
