Pacific Crest Trail: Walker Pass to Kennedy Meadows, June 9 – June 12, 2017
Last week I hitched a ride to a remote campground called Walker Pass, California and started walking the PCT. I’ll do a full post on this soon, but for now I’ll give you the highlights:
- I didn’t see a single person until Day 2
- I went 12 miles without a water source, twice
- Probably 90% of the hikers I met were thru-hikers (going all the way)
- Thru-hikers tend to form friendships with other thru-hikers on a similar pace. They call this their “bubble.”
- Thru-hikers have trail names, i.e. Piñata, Squarepants, Spiderbite
- Most hikers put in 15-25 miles per day
Here are some pictures!
