Pacific Crest Trail

The Pacific Crest Trail also known as the PCT is 4,267 kilometers long trail. The trail's southern terminus is on the U.S. border with Mexico, just south of Campo, California, and its northern terminus is on the U.S. border with Canada on the edge of Manning Park in British Columbia, Canada; its corridor through the U.S. is in the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.

The route passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks and ranges in elevation from just above sea level to 4009 meters. It is considered one of the most beautiful long-distance trails in the world. Adventurous hikers looking for a challenge witness some of America’s most scenic and varied terrain - from scorching desserts to snowy mountains - along the way.

The PCT is becoming increasingly popular as a through-hiking destination. Thru-hikers hike the entire trail from end to end in a single trip. Thru-hiking is a long commitment, usually taking between four and six months, that requires thorough preparation and dedication.

The PCT can be hiked both ways: north to Canada or south to Mexico. NOBO (Northbound) hikers begin the PCT in Campo, California and SOBO (Southbound) hikers begin the PCT in the U.S. - Canada border (Monument 78).

This video shows Mac, from http://www.HalfwayAnywhere.com hiking the entirety of a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike from the US/Mexico border to the US/Canada border across 2,660 mi / 4,200 km through California, Oregon, and Washington. I created this version in response to my first video, "The Pacific Crest Trail (Three Second Thru-Hike)", I have recut the footage into a more compact format with updated music.
