Pacific Crest Trail

After month of planning and prep I started my biggest adventure yet – I am thru-hiking the Pacific Creat Trail! 🤩

The PCT is one of the three big long-distance hiking trails in the US with 4265km (2650 miles). It starts at the Mexican border and passes through the states of California, Oregon and Washington and ends at the Canadian border.

The elevation on the Pacific Crest Trail ranges from a low of roughly 34 meters (110 feet) near the Bridge of the Gods on the Oregon-Washington border to a high of approximately 4,009 meters (13,153 feet) at Forester Passin the Sierra Nevada.

You need a long-distance permit to access mostly wilderness areas and national parks. I’ll be carrying everything I need in my backpack and sleep in a tent for the next few months with the occasional town visit to resupply.

I am excited, nervous, grateful and so curious about this journey ahead.

After a few days of prep in San Diego and sending myself a few resupply packages up the trail, I’ll stay my last night at CLEEF, close to the Southern Terminus and start my hike April 17th. 🙋🏻‍♀️🤩

I started April 17th and will update my blog whenever I have reception / WiFi. The last few days there wasn’t any.
