In 2018, I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Campo, CA to Manning Park, BC.

I blogged my hike in real-time, creating posts and posting photos for each day on trail. On this page, you can click through to the beginning of each section of the trail, as well as to pre- and post- trail posts about gear, food, and more! I hope you enjoy reading through the best experience of my life, and if you have any questions about thru-hiking, the PCT, or anything, please reach out to me.
