Take a Walk on the Wild Side: Backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail
Winding all the way from Mexico to the cold shoulder of Canada, the Pacific Crest Trail is one of the crown achievements of American trekking. At 2,650 miles, this National Scenic Trail is the second longest gem in the Triple Crown of hiking.
While thru-hiking the whole trek would take 4-5 months on average, there’s always the option of heading to the mountains for just a few days—perfect for all those wanting to get a taste of the wild. The trail going through Oregon is one of the easier, but also one of the most beautiful sections of the PCT. Lush temperate rainforests are an unmistakable trademark of the Pacific Northwest, though you could also stroll through wildflower meadows, swim in crystal clear lakes, and admire the spectacular Mt. Hood Volcano.
Whether you’d like to get a broad overview of the Pacific Crest Trail or you’d like to hike a section of it, this comprehensive webinar will set you on the right track. The inspiring PCT is always a good idea for a getaway into the wild, perfect even for total backpacking beginners, so let your seasoned hosts tell you everything there is to know about being on the PCT.
