True.  The dreaded Hat Creek Rim.  Can also be very, very hot.  Takes LOTS of water.  
If you're into trusting water cashes, which is scarey in this stretch,  there's a cashe called "cashe 22" on road or highway 22 that runs across the trail.  I think it cuts it in about half. It's also an entertaining cashe.  There's a little shelter made of sticks that provides shade for a few hikers at a time. Theres a register full of jokes(mostly clean) and lots of flat space below the cashe to camp.  I carried a small amount of emergency water just in case.  Still had that and more when we got there.  Found enough water to fill a swimming pool...well maybe a jacuzzi.
