Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hike
Continuous footpath from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail from May 4 2024 - September 5 2024.
That was so unbelievably vivid and high-intensity, the ending has brought me to tears. Trip of a lifetime worth waiting and dreaming multiple years for this to materialize.
2658 total miles of walking over 110 days (excluding time off spent with family). ~180 of these miles were dedicated to road walking around numerous wildfires that presented an added challenge to getting this done without skips.
It’s been a 4 month stretch of time that has made me feel it all - hunger, fatigue, borderline heat exhaustion, extreme cold, sleep deprivation, euphoria over watching a sunset, high adrenaline on a technical climb, and a wave of love from so many cool people, All accented by beauty in every step.
This trail has stolen my heart forever. Extra grateful to the many people I met on trail that helped me navigate around wildfire detours, and the many beastmode thruhikers that pushed me to put out some monster mileages every day. You’re the real ones and I love you all so much.
