We will be attempting to hike the Pacific Crest Trail starting March 16, 2023. The PCT is a 2,650 mile footpath that starts at the Mexican border near the Southern California town of Campo. The trail follows the mountains and finishes at the Canadian border with Washington near the town of Manning, BC. If we complete this journey, we will be living out of our backpacks for up to five and a half months. Roughly once a week, we will be resupplying our food as we approach towns close to the trail and provide a weekly update on this site. Ellen will be posting updates more frequent on Instagram – @hikerlady13.
