Backpacking the California Pacific Crest Trail by Cory Trager |
| |
The Pacific Crest Trail spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service along with other environmental partners it is a long-distance hiking and equestrian trail 100 to 150 miles east of the U.S. Pacific coast. Enjoyed by thousands each year, some only travel a few miles while others (at least 7000) have completed every single mile. Cory Trager hiked about 1/6 of the trail, about 500 miles over 38 days in 2018 and claims a multi day hike is much like doing a multi day bike trip—the biggest difference is what parts of your body hurt! Come to hear how he prepared and what he experienced along the way. |
