One of the most iconic sections of the PCT: the infamously flat and stark stretch where the trail runs along the Los Angeles Aqueduct through the Mojave Desert. Traditionally night-hiked to beat the heat, the section does showcase a certain type of desert beauty, and travels toward a major wind farm. This route is designed to have water sources at each end on an otherwise dry section, allowing it to be yo-yo'd or FKT'd unsupported more easily.
This is a relatively short, very challenging mountain trail from the Blue Mountain TH and parking to the summit and back. It is excellently described here: https://www.protectadks.org/hike-blue-mountain/
