General Blogs and Trail Journals are very different beasts. This area is intended for my Blogs related to hiking and backpacking that ARE NOT daily Trail Journals. To read my Trail Journals, please navigate to a specific hike in the Hikes Menu at the top of this page or on the Hikes Page.

Unlike the Appalachian Trail and many other trails on the east coast, the PCT requires a permit to hike the trail. “If you plan on hiking or horseback riding 500 or more miles along the PCT in a single, continuous trip, the Pacific Crest Trail Association can issue you an interagency PCT Long-distance Permit.”
