From here it is only a few miles hiking or hitchhiking west into Green Valley for resupply. In urgent cases Green Valley trail angels could come to pick up tired hikers. Most PCT thru hikers are going South to North, though in years with heavy snow lasting late into summer some are doing snow free sections first, which makes it interesting to know the southbound trailheads at important road intersections, as well.
