Pct - Oregon Section C is a 73.8-mile point-to-point hike in the High Cascades Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southern Oregon. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is rated expert, with a total elevation gain of 7,503 feet from a starting point of about 5,031 feet to a high of 7,359 feet. The trail is open to horses, and bikes are not allowed. That makes it a natural fit for a pack horse trip rather than a day on foot or wheels. Several other destinations sit close by. High Lakes Bike and Summit are both within a third of a mile, and the Petunia cross-country ski area is about 0.4 miles away. For an overnight base, Fish Lake Campground is roughly 1.4 miles off.
