The PCT travels through 2,650 miles of wilderness from the Mexican border at Campo, California to the Canadian border in Washington. Between March 29th and June 22nd, 2021, I hiked from the Mexican border to South Lake Tahoe before I was forced off trail due to injury. From August 27th to October 17th, 2021, I was able to continue my journey by hiking from the Canadian border to Summit Lake in South-Central Oregon. From July 7th to August 11th, 2022, I was able to complete the final 800 miles between South Lake Tahoe and Central Oregon.
There are now two final sections that I still lack due to 2022 fire closures: 119 miles from Etna Summit to Callahans/Interstate 5 (McKinney Fire Closure), and 42.5 miles from Highway 138 to Summit Lake (Windigo Fire Closure).
