[pct-l] pct where?

[AsABat at 4Jeffrey.Net (AsABat)]

In Riverside County the PCT generally follows the crest of the San Jacinto
Mountains. It avoids the big cities (thankfully!). Trail work closer to home
can be very rewarding, and it's certainly easier to get there, esp. in the
winter.

Cross-country skis, and snowshoes, are ok on the trail, as they are neither
wheeled nor motorized. They can be mandatory in the mountains during some
months.

Finally, you should get a map if you plan any hikes on the PCT. The
guidebooks are available from the Pacific Crest Trail Association at
www.pcta.org

 What parts of PCT are in Riverside county and where? Does it go through the
city of Riverside at all?
A friend of mine hearing of my hiking interest asked if I knew how he might
organize trail maintenance on a mountain he frequents, Box Springs Mountain.
Come to think of it, that might be a good place for me to start. I don't
know how starting on the PCT now would work. There's probably a lot of snow.
I will soon have some more equipment. No snow shoes though. Speakingong of
equipment I'll probably use my new skis for the first time, next week.
Speakiing of that, are (cross-country) skiis allowed on the PCT? Don't get
hostile if I've just said something wrong again.
