Thank you for the prompt response, i have been visiting this forum ever since i got my application picked to get more info in the next challenge.


My friend, do I have a training hike for you (Mt Laguna). Do this one or two times at a quick pace, and you'll find the adage 'train heavy, tread light' very true:

Drive out I-8 to the Boulder Oaks campground (near Lake Morena), park your car, and head for either Burnt Rancheria CG (15.5 miles) or Laguna CG (22 miles) via the PCT.

Spend the night and walk back down. Coming back down is just as important as going up. A whole different set of muscles to stress and condition.
