Is there a several hundred mile section of the FT that I don't need permits on and is near someplace I can fly or bus in? I am financially able to hike year round now and the FT seems like the only viable winter option. I want to spend the winter down there before I do the PCT, after I finish my 2016 AT thru. I don't know when I will be down there, so I can't really file for permits. I don't mind paying the fees, it's just I'm not sure when or where I will be.
Mainly just looking for a long section with few roadwalks I can hike up and down over the winter, or at least spend a few months out there.
Thanks.
