PCT Vlog #1 - Days 1-3

Day one of any journey is served with cocktail of trepidation, excitement, and hope for what lies ahead. Starting at mile zero, staring at what is to be a 2,650 mile trek across deserts, mountains, and dense forests, is no different.

I truly couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for these first few days. I was nervous, and unsure of exactly what I’d gotten myself into, but so up for the challenge!

I encountered heat, wind, and rain, wild creatures big and small, and friendly fellow hikers. The Southern California desert is as stunning as it is harsh and unforgiving.

Strap on your backpack, grab your trekking poles, and join me for the hike of a lifetime!
