Running from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington, the 2665 mile PCT meanders from the SoCal desert to the Alpine Mountains in Yosemite to the rainy forests in the North Cascades. We're attempting to thru-hike the PCT during the small window of time that the entire trail is typically passable from May-October. Though a seemingly huge undertaking and perhaps a bit out of the ordinary, it's just walking after all.

Mt Thielsen in the OR Cascades. One of the more dramatic mountains in OR so far. As you can see it is a blue bird day at the time of this photograph. The trail winds around Thielsen to a small creek that was still running due to the excessive snowfall OR received this winter and as soon as we reached the creak the entire peak disappeared behind clouds and fog and the temperature dropped 20° in a matter of minutes. I have not seen a change in the weather like that since the Sierras and we were just below 7500 feet.
