This is my story of doing a long thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. It is and will be one of the greatest adventures of my life. In 2023 I hike 1170 miles of the PCT and in 2024 I am going to hit the trail again to start all over again. I am a 62-year-old thru-hiker trying to hike from Mexico to Canada on the PCT to fulfill a dream of a lifetime. Join me as I face absolutely everything that comes with hiking the PCT. From run-ins with bears, and snakes, summiting snowy passes, going through the desert, dealing with wildfires, making new trail friends and seeing some of the most beautiful places on Earth, and surviving yet thriving in these truly wild spaces. Join me for some Type 1 and Type 2 fun and hopefully not too much Type 3 fun. I hope you enjoy the video and my story inspires you to get outside!
