Re: Onion valley to Horseshoe meadows next week
On my PCT hike I was there 4 weeks ago. Streams were a cakewalk. Now all the remaining snow (not much then) may have melted.
The problems may be the heat and mosquitos.

Hi David
I will, thank you. Two years ago, while climbing up from Virginia Lakes to
Squaw Lakes, we were trying to beat a thunderstorm and I rushed past Tully

When you you are on the switchbacks heading down into Vidette Meadow, take
time to stop and take in the views. Spectacular.

Re: Onion valley to Horseshoe meadows next week
I wouldn't worry too much about the water crossing.
I hiked the route about a month earlier in a fairly heavy snow year with an early melt and didn't have problems with these crossing. Tyndall was

Re: Tarp or tent
I used a zPacks Hexamid Twin for seven years and hundreds of nights before it finally fell apart. By then, zPacks had discontinued the model. I bought a Duplex and an Altaplex and didn't like either

Re: Tarp or tent
The Altaplex has served well in torrential rain for me. It is also easily
repairable with cuban tape.
Ask them about it - they are very responsive and helpful:

Re: Tarp or tent
I made this 1-pound tent myself 15 years ago. I still like it and wish I

Re: How lenient are rangers with backpackers who are overdue their exit date?
I'm glad you changed your exit date. Technically, this is the date your
