Pacific Crest Trail This long-distance U.S. trail runs through California, Oregon, and Washington states, from the Mexican border in the south to the Canadian border in the north. It is 2,663 miles long and passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks. The midpoint is in Chester, where the Cascade and Sierra mountain ranges meet near Mt. Lassen.
My nephew, Doug Murray, started the trail at the Mexican border on April 7. He has reached Kennedy Meadows and is on his way to Mt. Whitney. If you’re interested in following along with him, visit his Pacman Hikes the 2013 Pacific Crest Trail blog. Find more information about the Pacific Crest Trail here.

Wow! That's some trek! An old boyfriend of mine was hiking that trail in pieces with his son. It's an amazing undertaking! I'll be sure to trek along with Doug, to see what the two saw and might have seen, as well as see a few places I've visited, Kennedy Meadows and Whitney for starters. Thanks! I've become an armchair traveler for a while.
ReplyDeleteThis makes a great armchair trip! I hope to meet up with him at some point along the trail. I might tag along with my sister for a visit.
