Tried the Pacific Crest Trail in late March instead of April like everyone says
Everyone told me to wait until April to start the PCT because of snow. I went out near Kennedy Meadows on March 20th anyway. Hit 4 feet of snow at 8,000 feet and had to turn back after 3 days. Learned that the collective wisdom is right most of the time. Has anyone else tried starting a long trail early and got burned by conditions?

Did the same thing on the AT, camped in an ice storm like an idiot.

Read somewhere that ice storms are just nature's way of telling you to buy better gear, @blakefox.
