Day 52 Mammoth Lakes to John Muir Trail
Follow the adventure of Ben & Billy tackling the Pacific Crest Trail spanning from Mexico to Canada. The Pacific Crest Trail took 4.5 months to hike through California, Oregon and Washington from May 15, 2006 to September 25, 2006. The Pacific Crest Trail is the sister to the Appalachain Trail and the second of the Triple Crown (Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail). Both the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail were recognized as National Scenic Trails in 1968. The Pacific Crest Trail was officially completed in 1993. The distance between Mexico and Canada only being 1,000 miles seems short in comparison to the Pacific Crest Trail stretching two and a half times that. Switchbacks, desert, snow, and fire take the Pacific Crest Trail journal deep into our daily trail life- from Ben's relentless bickering remarks to the picturesque snow-capped mountaintops we got lost trekking over. An enticing trail, the Pacific Crest Trail is not to be missed.
