The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,660-mile trail that takes hikers from the border of Mexico all the way to Canada. The trail goes right through Oregon, and many Oregonians do day-hikes on sections of the trail. Halfway Anywhere posted a video on YouTube that gives you a three-minute tour of the entire thru-hike.

Over the years, thousands of hikers have completed the PCT as a thru-hike, starting in Southern California, and making their way through California, Oregon, and Washington to Canada.

It takes most thru-hikers around five months to complete the entire trail.

It’s a huge accomplishment to complete the PCT in one, long thru-hike! Most people will never have the opportunity to do so.
