The summary of this article is about Jim Clement who went to his first 20 hikers and he talk about his experience while hiking. He said that many people had a change of heart about hiking in this cold environment. Many people may had changed their mind because they think that this environment may be too dangerous for themselves. They probably changed their mind because they believed that they don't have the experience to do this activities. And the main reason that they don't want to hike in the PCT is because of what animal that they might witnessed and they don't want to be eaten. But Jim Clement convinced that yes it not be as easy as you may seem, but if you have the desire to do it, all of the things you have to bring in the hike, and the mental focus of hiking all of the way to the top of the mountain, then there will be nothing to worried about. You always make sure that you have everything that you need and if you don't, then you will be in a lot of trouble. One interesting thing about this article is it shows date and year of which this event has occurred. One fact about this article is that late season snow hasn't been seen in about 30 years. And I have one question: Do you want to go hiking in this particular environment meaning do you want to go hiking while it is snowing?
