5 days on the Pacific Crest Trail (Episode 5)

- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2024
- Episode 5 of my SOBO thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail takes me through 98 miles of Washington wilderness! We hike together from Snoqualmie Pass to White Pass. I try to avoid norovirus and get to see many stunning views of Mount Rainier!
A heat wave hits and I have to figure out how to stay hydrated, while avoiding the water sources with potential norovirus contamination. It proves to be challenging!
This section really tested me and I'm feeling stronger than ever going into the next one.
I really hope you enjoy this section of my hike! Thanks for being here!

I, too, am really enjoying traveling this journey with you! I admire how "real" you are on camera, with all the changes to your emotions. Very well done!
I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it! I like trying to capture the authentic experience if I can, so I’m glad you are enjoying. :)
Thank you for also sharing the less appealing moments with us. It's so impressive how you face all these challenges, overcome your own fears, the pain and frustration whilst still appreciating every single bit of beauty around you and focus on the good things. You are a really brave woman Krysta, with the heart of a true explorer. You got all of my respect and amiration. ❤
I teared up watching. Love the way you discuss things and the beauty of the trail. Can’t wait for next episode. Thanks.
Yay so glad to hear you're enjoying my videos!
Nice videos. Norovirus is easily killed by the water tabs. The real thing to worry about is touching commonly touched surfaces in shelters and public bathrooms. Just wash your hands a lot in areas you’re worried about infection.
That’s great to hear about the water tabs! I didn’t have any with me, but a good idea to have some as a backup. I avoided all common surfaces, like the cabin, completely for that exact reason! Not worth the risk!
What a difficult segment! This is a really good example of how to overcome heat and hydration issues. I also love the idea of the paper maps with the handwritten notes. They will be fantastic mementos in the future.
I agree! It will be fun to look back on them :). It really was a difficult segment! It reminded me a lot of the hot section on the CLDT!
I agree on the maps. I have saved the maps from several longer backpacking trips and they are really good ways to remember where you camped, the terrain you had on each day, etc. Even a decade later, looking at a map can really put me back into a trip and call back a lot of the memories.
I live 20 miles west of White Pass (Packwood) so you were able to see the amazing area I get to train for my 2025 PCT! I always think it’s funny when I watch people’s videos because I feel like we really get to know that person, but yet they don’t know anything about the people watching them.
I am enjoying your journey on the PCT so much!! Thank you for taking us along!!🤍
I'm enjoying your series. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it!
You really gutted it out on this section -- it must have been really stressful trying to dodge contaminated water sources while dealing with 90-degree heat. Still, the views of Mt. Rainier were epic. Speaking of epic, I can't wait to see the next episode with Goat Rocks! BTW/I really like how good you are with narrating where you are and what we are seeing. I am into geography when I hike, so the use of maps, connecting them with the visuals in the video, is really cool and helpful. Washington looks amazing.
Yay so glad you enjoyed!! Haha so true, I really did gut it out! Goat Rocks were epic! Can't wait for you to see that video 🙂
I love your videos so much! Thanks for sharing your personal journey as well. Hope you and your husband are doing well!
Thank you so much!! I’m really glad you are loving them :)
Oof! That weekend was so hot and humid - we were in the Olympics at Enchanted Valley and had to bail because it was 90+.
Your challenging circumstances would have turned me around. Congratulations on getting thru, now on to your reward - Goat Rocks!!
Oh wow! I’m glad you were able to get out safely! Yes it was definitely very challenging weather conditions! I had a lot of practice hiking in really hot weather when I did the Croatian Long Distance Trail in 2022, so I think that helped me know what to expect and how my body responds.
I feel like I found your channel at the perfect time, because I haven't seen the shorts and so I get to see your journey unfold and it is so exciting!
Nice. The more I see the more respect for you as a human being sharing Life.
I imagine myself being just like you in the morning; I will likely take my time and be back on the trail well after everyone else has already left. lol. Plant Papa
Definitely!! I eventually got there and was able to get myself going earlier, but when the days were still super long in the summer, I found it hard to find that morning motivation!
Beautiful hike. Have (almost) no water left isn't a good feeling. Greetings from Switzerland, Benjamin
You are cranking out some serious mileage young lady- I would say maybe a little too ambitious, but then again maybe you are a serious athletic type yo, but really, wow just saying- we understand if you need an easy or maybe even a zero day here and there. Impressed at how well you’re doing. Hoping the weather will be ok- just heard California got some serious snow. Best of luck to you- 😊and also to your husband!🏃♀️🌿🧘🏼🙏
Very proud of you… I’ve been where you were and had to hike 8 miles to get water. Understand how hard it is. Love your hike can’t wait to do it one day. Doing the AT in 2028 SOBO when I’m finally retired. I’ve been section hiking the AT for now until I can do it.
You are such an inspiration!!!! Thank you again for sharing ❤❤
Wonderful!!! Thank you...
Hiking through burn areas is hard and not having views for rewards is tough. It's so good you were able to get to have a shower at the end of a hard section. That was the reward you needed after that.
100%!! It makes the comforts of a shower feel so much more amazing too!
Don't stress about not waking early. I did the PCT 2022, only woke up naturally, usually only hiking by 8am. I still averaged 40km per day. There's PLENTY of day light, so don't worry☺️ sleep is crucial, enjoy it!
That's awesome!! Ya it's so nice to hike when the days are long! As I got closer to the end I did manage to become a morning person to maximize my time hiking in the day light!
@@KrystaNorwick 😁👍
Thanks for another beautiful, honest, video of your amazing journey!!!
I loved following your journey on shorts and was so excited when I saw that you’re doing long videos too! Really enjoying the footage and getting to hear more details of the challenges and of your reasons for doing the hike. It really is inspirational x
You upload so consistently it so cool to see all your progress , that marmot was really cute !
Thank you so much!!
Loving my Sunday mornings with you, Krysta! Hopefully the hot and boring sections are few and far between 😁👍🏼
Yay! So glad!! Yes the hot and boring sections definitely are rare on the PCT. I think it’s really good seeing the variability and getting to experience it. Gives me lots of time to think and lots of time to listen to podcasts! I think it was on this section I thought of like 3 different book ideas haha!
I love your style of video. Well done on this section, it seemed really tough. Wondering if water treatment tabs kill noro? Might be worth packing a few in your first aid back as back up to the filter.
Thanks so much!! I have heard from a few people that the tabs do treat noro, so I'm definitely carrying them in my first aid kid next time!
Oh, the beauty is breathtaking in your videos❤. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share. Can’t wait until next week!
So glad you are enjoying them 🙂❤️
Can’t wait for the next one😊❤
Yay!! Thanks for watching!
Such beautiful country! I live in the east and have never been in the northwest. I enjoy your videos so much!! I'm so softhearted I was tearing up when you were out of water!! Were you in grizzly country at all during the PCT?
So beautiful!! Aw that's so sweet of you 😭🥰. From what I've heard i wasn't officially in grizzly country, but definitely black bears!
Love your videos!! Thank you for sharing your adventure!! Scenery is beautiful! 🥾🥾🥰
Thanks for watching! Really glad you enjoy them!
Marmot !!!!!!!!!!! Out of curiosity would you do anything different (chlorine tablets?, other) in addition to a filter if you are in an area with noroviris in the future
So awful that you had to hike during the heat of one of our climate change summers. You are probably seeing Mt Adams in the distance (2nd tallest mountain in WA). The toad is a Western Toad. Yes--seems like there is always a debate among PCT hikers of which is more awesome Goat Rocks or North Cascades.
Okay great thanks for the insights! Love the toad!! I think I'm biased towards North Cascades, but only because the wildflowers were blooming more strongly when I was there.
I’m a new subscriber and I love your journey on the pacific crest trailer so far.do you plan on hiking the whole thing? Have you seen the movie Wild?
You could call this series Anne of Green Gables on the Trail
Haha yes I totally could! And I'm Canadian. I've heard that comparison more than once!
Can I ask how heavy your pack is?
Nice marmot.
I love marmots!!
The episodes are very enjoyable, but you need to release videos every 2 to 3 days, not once a week.
Glad you enjoyed!! Oh wow I would love to be able to release them more often! It’s been challenging enough getting them edited and ready for once a week. Maybe one day when I don’t have another job I could do that!
