Video: I made it to the trees

c) Andrew Carter, 2021

Here’s a video I shot yesterday when I made it to the trees on Mt. San Jacinto after 12 miles of climbing and 4000 feet of elevation gain to escape the hot, sunny Coachella Valley near Palm Springs.

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright.

  1. Awesome! This is tough country, but I wish I was on the trail there than being stuck here in the “real world”. 🙂

    Just curious, what camera equipment are you using for your videos?
