Beautiful hike for this portion of the PCT. The weather was near perfect with a little rain and the temp was 48-50°.
Recommended Gear:
Water- at least 2L per person depending on temps. We brought more
Snacks- classic trail mix and chocolates
Sunscreen and chapstick
Sunglasses
Hat
Sunhoody
Rain jacket- just in case
Waterproof boots
Hiking pants
Jacket
Water filter
Dry Bags/liner- Hiking packs are not water proof

Pack is 65L+10 Deuter. It is a bigger pack however it was a good trail to break it in get it dirty and utilize.
I would recommend a straight thru hike on this portion and arrange for a ride to pick you at either end.
Total time was just over 6.5 hrs
