Pacific Crest Trail Map

2024 recap 2025 plans

My buddy Jeff and I completed the section between Echo Lake/Lake Tahoe and Tuolumne Meadows this summer (2024). We had great weather, no bugs or snow, no injuries and a taste of the spectacular Sierra. Logistics to Echo Lk and home from Tuolumne went smoothly. My biggest takeaway was how tough this section was. The elevation gains and losses took their toll, especially once we entered Yosemite. Historically, 15 miles/day has been a pretty reliable target for us but that may not be attainable in the Sierra. The plan for this summer is to hike northbound from Kearsarge Pass to Tuolumne. If necessary, we can cut the hike short and exit at Mammoth Lakes.
