June 5th

ByJeremy Collison

Today we crossed 400 miles and a few days ago 1,000,000 steps. We skipped about 15 miles and walked around a section of the trail. We’re not purists with regards to our trail miles but I wanted to mention it somewhere and not worry about clarifying on every post.

Tonight we are camped on a windy hillside 25mi NE of LA. We will continue another 25 miles west before turning north towards Acton, CA.

We have a few weeks before our next big town Tahachapi, and then another 8-10 days walk to the southern edge of the Sierra at Kennedy Meadows (south).

The Fall Equinox

ByKristi

The Fall equinox this year not only signals the change of seasons, but for us the change of setting and lifestyle as we wind up our time on trail and prepare to move back indoors for the winter. The first four months of our trek on the PCT felt like perpetual summer. We had incredible…

At mile 517 along the Pacific Crest Trail there is a quirky hiker oasis known as Hikertown. Up to 40(?) PCT hikers may pass through daily descending out of the San Gabriel Mountains NE of Los Angeles, heading north across a narrow stretch of the Mojave Desert, and into the Tehachapi Mountains.
