  • This video shows Mac, from www.halfwayanywhere.com hiking the entirety of the Pacific Crest Trail from the US/Mexico border to the US/Canada border across 2,660 mi / 4,200 km through California, Oregon, and Washington.
    I created this version in response to my first video, "The Pacific Crest Trail (Three Second Thru-Hike)", I have recut the footage into a more compact format with updated music.
    I hope this video continues to spread the beauty of the PCT and share its glory with hikers and dreamers alike.

      The trail creates little streams from all the foot traffic in which causes unnatural drainage of several areas

    You gotta make time in life guys. Waiting around for the "right" time to do anything will surely disappoint you. If you want to do something, make time. Do it and don't look back. If it doesn't work out for you, then you learn something. Take the time off from work and do it, even if it's just one big adventure that uses all your time. Quality experiences > Quantity.

    As someone who had plans but whose plans were knocked back again and again as mobility limiting medical conditions began to mount (I'm on number 5 at 35), I know I will never see this in person.
    But I'm thankful that I live in a time and place where people like you are kind enough to compile such amazing video and let me glimpse what could have been if I had been born healthy.
    Aaaaaaand now I'm crying, hahaha.
    Again, thank you. That was... something I never thought I'd see.

    Class of '86 here - I spent 7 months doing the trail and had a little snow in WA. I loved it so much, I went on to do the AT, CDT (in 4 section hikes), the AZ trail and FL trail. I'm a westerner and probably a little biased, but the PCT is the best. The CDT is still a work in progress and has sections of pavement, 4x road and you'll see vehicles on it so the experience is diminished. Just do it if you can, I guarantee you will cherish the experience the rest of your life. See it before our wild areas disappear. Suggestions: go light and for heaven's sake don't be in a hurry. Your chances of a successful thru-hike and the pride that goes with it will be much better.
