June 27th last year was when I saw the early stages of the Shasta (Weed) fire, and that was the first fire I saw, but would aim to get through Sierras as soon as practical and safe. Then I heard news of other fires as I continued north. Felt very sorry for the SOBO hikers as they arrived later in the season and faced a lot of fires in front of them, and had to be much more flexible with their trail sections. Hoping this year we will have fewer fires.
It was nice to meet you on trail :)
Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to the PCT in 2024. This is very helpful! Look forward to your future videos.

Litharge,
Thanks for a helpful video. What approximate times have the fires been starting and where are they commonly found on the PCT ?
