PCT Update #5 – Mt. San Jacinto, CA to Mile 223

PCT Update #5 – Mt. San Jacinto, CA to Mile 223

by Jessica | Aug 24, 2017 | Pacific Crest Trail Journey Blog

Summiting Mt. San Jacinto had been quite the experience, but it was one I was glad to put in the rear view mirror. I got a taste of hiking in the snow and it honestly made me a little more nervous about the Sierra Nevada. I was glad to have tested my microspikes and...
PCT Update #4 – Warner Springs, CA to Mt. San Jacinto, CA

PCT Update #4 – Warner Springs, CA to Mt. San Jacinto, CA

by Jessica | Jul 12, 2017 | Pacific Crest Trail Journey Blog

After all the late night birthday celebration, I was a little slow leaving Warner Springs the next day. The terrain was beautiful on the immediate stretch north of town. Draping trees helped shade the trail and the change of scenery kept my groggy mind entertained....
PCT Update #3 – Mt. Laguna, CA to Warner Springs, CA

PCT Update #3 – Mt. Laguna, CA to Warner Springs, CA

Road Trip to the PCT – Opelika, AL to San Diego, CA

Road Trip to the PCT – Opelika, AL to San Diego, CA

by Jessica | Apr 24, 2017 | Pacific Crest Trail Journey Blog

Last summer (2016), I finally looked myself in the mirror and realized: I’m going to do it. Next year, I’m thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. After completing my AT thru-hike by summiting Mt. Katahdin in October 2015, the insatiable desire to be back on...
