Last October, I hitched from White Wolf to Tuolumne Meadows. Picked up by the second car. They weren't wearing masks. I was. They were willing to have me open windows. I would feel comfortable doing

I did a trip out of Virginia Lakes, past Summit Lake, over to Spiller Canyon and then back and out at Green Creek in early August. The AQI seemed pretty bad at times and we left 2 days early because

We just finished a PCT section from Sonora Pass to Ebbets Pass. We had planned doing Lower Echo Lake to Donner Pass, but upon arrival at Lower Echo, the ominous reddened sky, ash and smoke changed our

I had never hitched before, but did recently in Yosemite and found it surprisingly easy (we ended up getting 3 separate rides--long story--to make it all the way from Tuolumne to the Valley, and each
