California Pacific Crest Trail
Hike the PCT. This is the famous hiking trail that runs the entire
length of the Western United States of America. From the Mexican desert to the Canadian border this route winds thru the best forest scenery & mountain scapes along California, Oregon & Washington state. Backpacking the PCT is a 'once of a life time story' for most folks who try it, altho John Muir spent a good portion of his life in these gorgeous, scenic, upper elevations of alpine bliss. Starting from the south near Tecate Mexico, the path travels north into the rugged Sierra Nevada high countrty, then proceeds up thru the Cascade Ranges of CA, OR & WA.

Many backpackers make their hiking dreams a reality each year as they traverse segments of this popular route. A few try the whole thing.. but it may take a full year to do it right. Weather is a concern in winter months, as snow gets hella deep in the High Sierra. Plan your route accordingly.
