The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail stretches from Mexico to Canada, winding through the high mountains of California, Oregon and Washington. Thru-hikers complete the 2500+ mile journey in 5 months each year. We'll be on the trail as they complete the Oregon Section, so you can meet them and help provide "trail magic" to those dedicated souls. Find out what innovations work and how far you can go to lighten your load.
