PCT Reprise

Arriving the northern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail
Arriving the northern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail

I spent the past twelve days hiking the last 268 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from Snoqualmie Pass, WA to Manning Park, BC. My thru-hike from Mexico to Canada last year saw an early snow storm dump 6-7 feet of snow on the PCT in this area, forcing me to road walk the rest of the way. Though I was happy with the accomplishment, it felt somewhat incomplete given the alternate ending. I just wanted to return and hike this part of the trail. It was probably the most physically demanding of the entire PCT and included a couple passes that made me quite nervous. I’m very happy to have this all behind me now.
