| This year I'm hiking instead of paddling. It's going to feel different to carry my equipment on my back instead of loading the kayak, and I know I'll really miss being on the river. The Pacific Crest Trail or PCT runs over 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada on the West Coast. It is a foot path rather than a river, so I will have to carry everything I need for my four month journey on my back. I'll start in the waterless heat of the Colorado Desert in Southern California and work my way into the snowy mountains of Oregon and Washington. |
