The Pacific Crest Trail




The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a 2,600 mile (4,286 km) trail that runs from the US/Mexico border all the way into British Columbia, Canada. Crossing through California, Oregon, and Washington, the PCT passes through twenty-five national forests and seven national parks. Approximately 180 people successfully complete a thru-hike (the entire length) of the trail every year.


Below are all the post from my thru hike in 2014 :

The route is mostly through National Forest and protected wilderness. The trail avoids civilization, and covers scenic and pristine mountainous terrain with few                                                   roads.         

                                                              
  


Yep, it is quite impressive.......

Most PCT thru-hikers begin their journey at the US/Mexican Border in late April at the Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off. The goal is depart early enough in the year to get through the Southern California desert before it gets too hot and with hopes of arriving at the Sierra Nevada when the snow pack has melted sufficiently. Once through the Sierra Nevada, the race is on to make Canada before weather conditions make sections impossible.
