What Is the PCT?
The PCT, or Pacific Crest Trail, is a 4,265-kilometer long hiking trail that stretches vertically across the U.S.
Being so long, it crosses three states and seven national parks.
Hikers can experience a varied range of landscapes, from hot desert regions to great mountain ranges.
It takes about five months for the average person to walk through the trail, which is known as thru-hiking.
“Thru-hikers” usually start in early spring and head north, arriving at their destination in early winter.
It’s a hard journey with a low completion rate; just 14% of all hikers attempting a thru-hiking succeed in finishing the PCT.
