September 21st, 2018 We made it to the Canadian border today on our 5th wedding anniversary! We successfully thru hiked the PCT! We hiked every open mile (and some detours too). Luckily, we did not have to do any flips…
September 20th, 2018 We woke up this morning to the sound of snow falling on the tent. It was cold, but very pretty. We crossed Harts Pass, which is the last road we’ll cross in the USA. That means there’s…
September 19th, 2018 We took advantage of the good weather today and hiked a big day. It was a beautiful fall day, and we had lots of awesome views. The season for huckleberries and blueberries seems to have ended unfortunately.…

September 14th, 2018 Today was challenging but fun. We’re making the best of the rainy days by telling ourselves that we’re testing our limits while improving our rain-backpacking skills. We originally planned to hike ~25 miles today to get closer…
We compiled everything we’ve learned from thousands of miles of hiking into this guide and recipe book! We hope you enjoy it!
