Views of the trail, Southern California

c) Andrew Carter, 2021

In many places, lots of rocks.

Bushes crowding the trail.
The desert …
… the forest.
Rocks, rocks, and more rocks.
The rocks to the left have been placed to show hikers where to go.

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. Thanks for these photos. The dry conditions are an eye opener for those of us who live on the East Coast. Certainly not like the AT. The scree looks to be tough footing. I can see why hiking sticks are a good idea!
