Description
The Pacific Crest Trail or PCT is a 2,650 mile thru hiking trail that spans from the Mexican California border through the Washington Canada border. The trail runs through 26 national forests, seven national parks, five state parks and three national monuments. Designed in 1968 and officially completed in 1993 the PCT is and has been a place for thousands of people to escape the hustle of everyday life and return to nature. However this west coast trail and its accessibility is in jeopardy. With increase of average annual temperatures, widespread air pollution and wildfires leaves many outdoor enthusiasts wondering, “What will the new PCT experience be?”
