Re: Favorite Hiking Spots

[(Anonymous)]

This isn’t anything I’ve done but a goal of mine is to section hike the PCT. I may even get to do a section this year! If not, then I’ll go next year. I think I’ve decided on central Oregon to find my tail legs. I’d go NOBO from Williamette Pass but not sure exactly where my end point would be. It depends on if I go this year or next year because I’m still dealing with some medical stuff, plus next year I’d likely be able to go for two weeks instead of just the one this year.

I have a friend that did a big section of the PCT and it sounded amazing. I hope you get to go! I'm too much of a wimp about grizzlies and mountain lions, but I do sometimes toy with the idea of tackling the AT.

The PCT serial killer is more of a worry to me than any other wildlife.

AYRT Nongrozzlies in Oregon! And you won’t see the mountain lions, either. Those are there but they want nothing to do with you.

I live along the AT in the southern part and hopefully you’re cool with Black Bears because they will camp with you every night. The AT is so popular and thru hikers are so notoriously bad at taking even the simplest of precautions that the black bears are now a huge problem :(

ayrt - cool and very familiar with black bears! I had a scary experience with a mountain lion hiking out West and its left me a little paranoid.

I hike various AT trails in the summer and its gotten so bad not a summer goes by where they don't have to shut down a trail or two because of bears or thru hiker nonsense. I really wish I had done the AT when I thought about it back in early 2000s, way less popular then. My biggest turn off of doing it now is the popularity. I saw someone trying to live stream from the AT and just no. That is not the AT experience I want.

The AT really is disappointing these days :( It’s frustrating how careless and entitled the thru hikers have become.

They do have black bears in Oregon too but they’re still timid, unlike the AT bears. But the no grizzlies was a big part of why I picked Oregon. I always take a bear canister even when not required, so I feel comfortable about tackling the PCT in that regard. I did have a black bear decide to join me for coffee a few months ago at Big South Fork on the John Muir Trail and that changed how I do my morning coffee. I now pack up and then boil my water and brew my coffee so if Yogi decides to join me again I can just abandon my cup. I was two hours late returning that trip because I had to wait for it to clear off so I could pack and of course I was super paranoid that every sound I heard was it returning. I absolutely love black bears but not 15 feet away with nothing but a log between us.
