#Repost @ecoagam ・・・ One of the PCT gems. Nothing like chillin in a natural hot spring and then jumping into a freezing river. That was my first 0 day on the trail (day with 0 miles). #pct #pctclassof2017 #pct2017 #pacificcresttrail #theyearoffireandice #deepcreekhotsprings #deepcreek #hotsprings #nature #sonya6000 #hiking #hikingadventures #backpackers #traillife #thruhike #thruhiking #travel

My favorite part about hiking in the mountains of California is all the snow fed mile high ponds and lakes you can only get to by hiking multiple days. I've never swam in such beauty!

I am pretty sure this location is all covered up in snow now but man, look at that view. @justinhelmkamp and I met out on the #pct2017 but never hiked really together. We’ve now done a few hundred together. Super thankful for friends like him whose answer is usually yes. Thanks for coming out bro! . . . . . . #CDT #thruhiker #thruhike #thruhiking #colorado #explorecolorado #cdt2019 #outsidelands #embracethebrutality #choosemountains #trekthecdt #thetrek #triplecrown #createyourtrail #cdtc #withguthook #campingdonelight #enlightenedequipmemt #embracethespace #zerolimits #takelessdomore #thegroundskeepers #wekeepyououtdoors (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Y57N9F1T8/?igshid=1h6elyn2np784

09/20/17 - Otter Rock, OR - FITTY SHRIMP UNWOUND - If you need to unwind for awhile, come visit for a few days when we are home basing on the ocean in Otter Rock.

First met Fitty Shrimp while hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2014. I saw a ‘rattlesnake warning’ note left on a rocky section of trail in Pennsylvania signed by a hiker named Fitty. A few minutes later, I found him sitting under a shade tree. He asked me if I wanted to see his rattlesnake video. After that, we ran into each other a few more times before losing contact in Vermont. But, AT thru-hikers are a bit of a fraternity and sometimes we stay in touch. Since the AT, Fitty has been very busy with long distance thru-hiking. This summer, he was doing the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and was in Northern California when large sections of the trail were closed due to all the extreme forest fires this year. Leaving the trail and calling off a quest is not an easy decision for someone like Fitty who is used to finishing what he starts. The disappointment can be deflating - especially when it’s due to circumstances you can’t control. Glad he was able to visit us in Otter Rock for a few days where he could unwind, regroup and contemplate his next quest. Go Fitty!

Well I made it to mile 1100. Through the desert and the Sierra Nevada's 200% snowpack. Unfortunately a broken foot has brought my trip to an abrupt and unwelcome end. Until I reattempt, farewell.

Despite the lack of pictures I spend the majority of my day in class.

Entering Lassen

2 July 2017

I hiked a lot this day. Felt like I was doing better miles. Maybe. Who knew.

Ran into some day hikers.

Entered Lassen National Park this day.

Took a side trip to Terminal Geyser.

Passed by Boiling Spring.

Paid too much for a meal at Drakesbad.

Met some cool hikers and camped in a campground.

That is all.

We shared stories and we laughed together while enjoying the hot springs. Days like this reminds me how fun and precious it is to meet people from all walks of life while traveling. “ゴールに目を置いてたらいつまでも着かないよ。1日1日に集中してたら、いつのまにか着くから焦らなくていい”---PCT上にあるdeep creek温泉で出会った2016年pctハイカーからもらった励まし。 この日、色んな人から精神的に励ましをもらった。温泉に入りながら話して笑って。旅する楽しみはその道中に十人十色な人達との出会いだってこと、思い出させてくれる心温まる日だった。 #PCT #pacificcresttrail #pct2017 #traillife #nature #love #outdoor #views #travelonfoot #mountains #explore #adventureforlife #adventure #hiking #backpacking #earthofficial #optoutside #keepexploring #womaninoutdoor #earthfocus #trekthepct #hyakkeime #lensbible

I hiked into California a long while back. Nothing's more striking than Mount Shasta on a misty morning. Only 2 more months to go!

I have mostly been updating my Instagram Rachael_Rabbit with everything going on. I had a great hike I to the Sierras and up Mount Whitney. After that point the snow and rivers turned the hike into a mountaineering trip. After getting swept down two icy rivers I knew the conditions were too dangerous for me to continue in that section. I have now gone farther north on the trail and will return within the season to complete the sierras when it is safer. This section of the hike has been the hardest emotional and physical challenge for me so far. "I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me."- Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Couple of great shots of Andrew Sherry @thehikingstory to demonstrate the demands of Pacific Crest Trail and the versatility required to tackle the trail from blistering heat to snow covered trails. Glad to see our 100% Merino Baseline Tee is meeting the test! #teamthunderbolt #lessshitmoregrit #getoutandstayout #thruhike #pct2017 #merinowool #pacificcresttrail (at Pacific Crest Trail)
