Thank you so much for creating your PCT guide! I start on April 10th. Researching and planning for the trail can be frustrating at times, and I've always said, ‘I just wish there could be one place with all the information that I need.’ And then, bam... the universe helped manifest your guide!

Thank you for all the love and knowledge you two poured into this. Keep sharing your voice and stories, and cheers to the adventures ahead!

I have yet to find a more useful resource for PCT preparation. It’s clear this was created by people who truly understand what hikers need. It’s the kind of guide you return to again and again, because it answers questions you didn’t even realize you had. THANK YOU!
Kendall Sharpe

Thanks so much! The guide looks fabulous, and I really appreciate all the effort that goes into it. I’ve been getting a bit overwhelmed by all the diffuse information online, so this looks like exactly what I need!

This will help me on my PCT journey a year from now, and as I prep this year.
