I know nothing about the trail but intend to learn. Anyone care to suggest access points for segment hiking?
Oh, yeah.
From Reno, you have lots of choices, especially for intro level. Depending on how short you want to cut the segments, Yosemite Valley to Tuolomne (24 mi) or Red's Meadow (Mammoth Lakes, 58 mi) Are very convenient and supported by ESTA/YARTS for shuttles. Most of the major west-side THs are also fairly convenient to ESTA, with a usually-easy hitch down to Rt 6/395. Southern sections are all good through Taboose, Sawmill, Kearsarge, Shepherd, MWMT and more. Probably first thing to do is decide how big a bite you want to take at one time, then find out about THs that match up. There are also some great west-side THs, but public trans generally sucks, unless you want to go between SEKI and Yosemite in one trip. Private cars are usually necessary for shuttles, so from Reno, why bother?
