I'm hiking the The Pct!
So I'm hiking the Pacific Crest Trail!
The Pacific Crest Trail is 2,663 mi (4,286 km) long[1] and ranges in elevation from just above sea level at the Oregon-Washington border to 13,153 feet (4,009 m)[5] at Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevada. The route passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks.[7] Its midpoint is in Chester, California (near Mt. Lassen), where the Sierra and Cascade mountain ranges meet.[8]
It was designated a National Scenic Trail in 1968, although it was not officially completed until 1993.[9] The PCT was conceived by Clinton C. Clarke in 1932. It received official status under the National Trails System Act of 1968.
I look forward to the challenge mentally and physically. Meeting some great people and having a great story to tell!
