Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a 2,650-mile (4,265 km) trail that stretches from the U.S.-Mexico border in California to the U.S.-Canada border in Washington.
It passes through diverse landscapes, including deserts, the Sierra Nevada mountains, dense forests, and volcanic regions.
The trail is known for its challenging terrain, with sections like the Sierra Nevada offering stunning alpine views.
Hikers typically complete the trail in 4-6 months, facing extreme weather and remote wilderness.
The PCT is a beautiful, rigorous adventure that connects hikers to the heart of the American wilderness.
