Good call. All in one shot and you would have to take the "elk" off of your screen name

This would be a fun hike. I'd like to do the entire Washington portion of the trail eventually.

I do not have a map in front of me  but I was thinking of breaking it up like this.
Stage 1. Canadian border to hwy 20
stage 2. hwy 20 to hwy 2
stage 3. 2 to 90
stage 4. 90 to 410
stage 5. 410 to 12
stage 6. 12 to columbia river.
 Now I just have to figure out the mileages for all these stages.

I think this information should be pretty publicly available with a little Google work, otherwise look into buying Yogi's PCT handbook.  (pcthandbook.com)  I don't like Yogi so I'd encourage you not to purchase her product, but it's a surefire way to get those mileages with little hassle.  Otherwise I might suggest looking into the PCT section of trailjournals.com around the beginning of September (or now, for southbounders) to read up on tons of northbounders who are working their way up through Washington.  You can probably pick up mileages from them.  Also look into the PCT-L (google it - you could definitely ask for the mileages on there and probably have an answer in a few hours) or the PCT 2013 Facebook group.

Also, I hiked the PCT in 2005 so I may be able to answer some questions.  Washington was a wonderful section, probably my favorite.

Thanks.  That's the ram on the front of the regs right?
