Miles Hiked: 28.9 PCT Mileage: 2208 This morning I woke up and got ready in the dark at Cascade Locks. I hiked out of the Marine park with Trail Diva and Midnight as the sun came up. We began the day by walking towards the bridge of the gods. Today we will start hiking SouthboundContinueContinue reading “PCT Day 115: Eagle Creek”

Miles Hiked: ZERO This morning chewy was supposed to pick us up at 10am. She was actually supposed to come last night but decided to make the trip in the morning.

Miles Hiked: 26.2 PCT Mileage: 2179.1 Today everything was soaking wet when I woke up. Meadows usually produce a lot of condensation over night so I wasn’t surprised. I was also very cold for the first time in a long time this morning. I quickly packed up my things and started walking fast because IContinueContinue reading “PCT Day 113: Stevens Pass”

Miles Hiked: 30 PCT Mileage: 2152.9 This morning I started hiking by 5:15am. The day started with a downhill and amazing views of the Cascades.

NextContinueContinue reading “PCT Day 112: Cathedral Pass”

Miles Hiked: 15 PCT Mileage: 2122.9 This morning I still woke up early at our hotel. I’m so glad I got a bed last night.

Miles Hiked: 25.2 PCT Mileage: 2078.2 Last night it rained for about 20 minutes. Honestly it was nice because it hasn’t rained on me in so long.

I slowly packed up my things and got on the trail around 6am before bothContinueContinue reading “PCT Day 109: Mike Urich Cabin”

Miles Hiked: 29.2 PCT Mileage: 2107.9 Today I woke up pretty early. I woke up on and off throughout the night thinking it was time to leave already. It was weird and I had some strange dreams.

Miles Hiked: 32.2 PCT Mileage: 2053 This morning I left camp at 4:30am. I didn’t sleep well at all last night and when I was awake at 4am I figured I might as well start hiking.

Miles Hiked: 17.2 PCT Mileage: 2020.8 This morning I left camp at 4:50am. I think it’s the second earliest I have been on the trail hiking on the PCT. The day started with a five mile uphill climb.

Miles Hiked: 25.3 PCT Mileage: 2003.6 This morning I woke up at 4:30 without an alarm. I noticed that the mosquitos were not out and I got excited.

I was throwing everything inContinueContinue reading “PCT Day 105: Mount Adams Wilderness”

Miles Hiked: 23.6 PCT Mileage: 1947.8 Today I woke up at 4am without an alarm for the first time in over a month I’d guess.
