Northern California, Oregon and Washington are three section hikes for future years that will probably be done towards the end of the year.
I found snow in San Jacinto and Mt Baden Powell, probably because of the extra snow this year. Normally the snow would be way down. The water was plentiful and the temperature was nice. So do the southern section early and the rest of the trail later and you'll have a wonderful hike.
