Previous 50 miles of the trail had us looking for breaks from the wind instead of shady spots from the sun. #pacificcresttrail #pct #pct2018 #pctig #southerncalifornia #mexicotocanada #desert #hiking #backpacking #windmill #windturbine #windfarm (at Rosamond, California)

I set off on the PCT hoping to hike 2650 miles, but decided I’d had enough after 109 (plus a lot of road walking). 5 hiking days felt like a month, and two of those days I hiked 26 and 35 miles. I was nearly bitten by a rattlesnake, I survived 110*+ heat in the desert, and walked along edges of mountains that made my palms sweat and my knees weak. All along the way are trail angels and people going out of their way to help and welcome PCT hikers, and the community, to me, is almost as impressive as the hiking itself. A big thank you to anyone that offered a ride, or a place to stay, or ignored how bad we all smelled to make life a little bit easier. Thru-hiking really comes down to this: adjusting your perspective to be reminded that it’s the little things that make a difference.

PCT Class of 2017, be prepared for some amazing connections. Friends you will never ever regret knowing. Happy hiking to you all!! ❤ #pctig #latergram #pacificcresttrail #pct2015 #rei1440project #neverstopexploring #mtngirls #girlswhohike #trailchat #backpacking #nature #sunset #idyllwild #socal #caliexplored #wanderlust #getlost #in2nature #theadventureproject

Vasquez Rocks was a beautiful spectacle for sunrise today. Had my 2nd job today but had to race to get a lil foot walkin. #vasquezrocks #pctig #sunset #landscape #trailchat #modernhiker #gwhla #in2nature #shotonmoment #cloudporn #instahike #nature #geology #pacificcresttrail #socal #caliexplored #wanderlust #rei1440project #neverstopexploring #girlswhohike #52hikechallenge (at Vasquez Rocks)

[𝗠𝗮𝗰'𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗫𝗩𝗜] In 2019, I decided it was time to revisit the thing that started it all (for those of you who have - or haven't - been with me since the beginning, please refer to [Mac's Story - Part I]) - the Pacific Crest Trail. I began my second hike of the PCT on the same day of the year I began my first, May 18, but the trail I found myself on was completely different than the one I found myself on six years prior.⁣ ⁣ I met dozens of other hikers every day on the trail, I hiked through nonstop rain for days at a time in the desert (and a snow-covered Fuller Ridge), and I encountered a snow-filled Sierra (compared to the zero snow Sierra I hiked through in 2013). Another difference between my first time on the PCT and last year? Last year I decided to end my hike after reaching Yosemite National Park (Tuolumne Vallery to be exact).⁣ ⁣ Yosemite ended up being an appropriate time to end my hike, as my reason for doing so mostly revolved around my getting together with @paulinadao - a climber, photographer, and human extraordinaire. Since my departure from the PCT last year I have purchased a car (or at least I'm paying a bank slowly over time for a car), I have been doing a lot of climbing, and I have been planning a lot of trips (all of which have been canceled due to COVID-19).⁣ ⁣ Hopefully, by the time this is posted (I'm writing this in the past), the coronavirus situation has passed peak "word ending" and we've taken steps toward a pre-March 2020 world (and we, in the US, have all gotten our $1200 checks). If it hasn't, I hope this tasteful nude helps to ease the pain of the insane world we're still living in.⁣ ⁣ <3 ⁣ ⁣ 📸: @paulinadao

🔺 Por @distancialonga (Parte 2/3) Às 10:02 eu cheguei lá. O marco é idêntico ao da fronteira do México, cinco toras de madeira com as infos da trilha. Mas aqui não tem muito, nem grade, nem guarda florestal, nem alfândega. É só o marco e um monumento marcando a fronteira l. Teoricamente você pode ir dos EUA pro Canadá com a permissão que você emite online, mas não pode fazer o inverso. Mas não tem ninguém ali controlando. Cheguei ali, fiz minha fotos, abri o espumante que estava levando e entrei no país vizinho. São mais 16 quilômetros, não computados, até o parque Manning. No caminho cruzei com um caro e o filho de bicicleta. Disse que ele devia fazer a PCT dia. “Já fiz vários trechos aqui perto de bicicleta. É ilegal, você sabe, mas ninguém toma conta...” Eu já não tinha nada de comido na mochila e fui direto ao restaurante. Um hamburger, uma cerveja, a conta. Senha invalida no cartão. Tenta esse. Senha invalida de novo. Tenta esse então. “A gente não aceita American Express... mas tem um caixa eletrônico ali na porta”. Vou lá. Tento sacar dinheiro da minha conta. Cartão recusado. De novo o drama... consigo resolver tirando 100 dólares do cartão de crédito da American. Mais uma coisa pra resolver mais tarde...

🔺 Galera vejam esse IG, uma história sensacional de se acompanhar, umas das trilhas mais famosas do mundo PCT- Por @distancialonga (Parte 2/3) Numa das encruzilhadas ela está sentada escrevendo no seu diário. Foi ali que tente sentar e senti uma fisgada mais forte. Por causa disso diminuí ainda mais o passo e só cheguei no acampamento quase oito da noite. Logo depois chegaram Tarzan e TH, dois caras que a gente tinha encontrado mais cedo , quando paramos para um banho num das várias lagoas da região. #pct #pct2019 #pctig #trekthepct #trilhando #caminhada #travessia #aventura #mochilao #redebrasiltrilhas #trilhandomontanhas #trilheirosdobrasil #trilhasetravessias #trekkingbrasil #trekkingestilodevida #backpacking #montanha #hikertrash #adventure #aventura #viagem #trekking #hiking #thruhike #dirtbag #tudoape #longadistancia #mochileiros _________ ❂ Apoio: @poraicomapri @franzkenzo @mochilandooficial @henio.aventura @chris_mussi @rafatrotamundos @trotamericas @zagaiaviajando @veronicagonze @ecoxperiences @lorneguide . . ↠.

Pacific Crest Trail Day 45: There are a few ways into Mammoth Lakes from the PCT - Mammoth Pass, Red’s Meadow, Devils Postpile, or Agnew Meadows. The last three options typically offer a bus up to Mammoth, but this bus won’t start running (this year) for another two days which means that I will either have to walk the road or get a hitch (which will only be possible with a Red’s Meadow employee because the road is closed for the next two days as well). I consider hiking 2.5 mi / 4 km over Mammoth Pass, but this will require a 1 mi / 1.6 km road walk on the other side and will then mean that I have to come back in to the PCT this same way (I would rather do more miles now to help out Future Mac). . I end up hiking to Red’s Meadow and have a rather frustrating morning filled with icy downhills and a freezing lake crossing. It’s not that the trail this morning was more difficult than the trail south of here, but rather that my expectation for the 19.73 mi / 31.75 km to Red’s Meadow was that it would be an easy and snow-free hike (where I got this idea, I have no idea). When expectations don’t match reality is when things get frustrating for me (best to just not have expectations of what’s to come). . From Red’s I begin the long hike up the road (there’s a trail option too but there’s a chance of a ride if I walk the road) out to Mammoth. After half an hour of walking, I catch a ride from a Red’s employee heading home for the day. We are stopped halfway up the road by forest service crews who are cutting down trees in preparation for the road’s opening to the public in two days. Stopped in the middle of the road, we watch as the crew fells a huge tree right in front of us. We spend the next forty minutes watching them chainsaw it in half and push it off the road (and down a large hill) with a bulldozer. . Once I make it to Mammoth I check into a hotel where I get myself two nights - tomorrow is going to be a zero day (my justification is that the last section was hugely challenging and that if I zero tomorrow, the bus will be running the next day to take me back). . Day: PCT 887.5 to Mammoth Lakes via Red’s Meadow Day's distance: 19.73 mi / 31.75 km #Sierra #PCT
