Post Body

I have a week off work to use this summer for a backpacking trip. Exact dates are TBD at this point so assume I wouldn't be on trail in the snow.

Which section is the easiest to reach from a major airport and get shuttled to/from said airport? I want to get on Trail, do approx 30-40 miles from Sunday to Thursday and then return to whatever city I flew out of Thur evening and explore it for a couple days and fly out late Saturday or Sunday.

My primary goal is to have great views and get some elevation in. I do not want to spend the whole time in a forest and see little or hike a flat area, I can do both at home.

I want to start where I can fly nonstop to/from one of these three cities
LA
Portland
Seattle
