Pacific Crest Trail. ~VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS~ Sorry this has taken so long. But the first video of our PCT highlights is up on YouTube! Follow the link in our bio to watch the full video. =)

Pacific Crest Trail. ~DAY 12~ Distance hiked 15.6 Miles / 24.96km We were up and ready by 7am. The climb up and out of the canyon was easy walking. The scenery quickly changed as the elevation increased. Suddenly we were in the clouds themselves. Mountain peaks emerged like giants and disappeared just as quickly. The temp stayed cool for most of the morning, eventually giving way as the clouds lifted and the heat sunk in.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~NEW BLOG POST~ So the past two weeks hiking have been such an incredible challenge. In 209 miles we've traversed snow, desert, forest and 9000ft mountain ridges. Braved 60mph winds overnight, dodged Rattlesnakes on trail and stumbled into some strange but hiker friendly locations best described as "Straight out of Breaking Bad" but with banana pancakes. So follow along on our website as we continue to update as often as possible and fill you in on this incredible journey. --->LINK IN BIO<---

Pacific Crest Trail. ~DAY 11~ Distance hiked 16 miles/25.6km We left Warner Springs after a great night sleep, wondering down the road and into the country side. There we were surrounded by rolling yellow fields of flowers as far as you could see. The walking was easy as we passed by abandoned campgrounds and eventually climbing up and into the dry and dusty desert. In no time cactus and lizards were around every corner. The walk continued up a long ridge into the evening, by this time we met up with a few other hikers, made dinner and watched the most brilliant sunset.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~DAY 10~ Distance hiked 6.7miles /10.72km Warner Springs was great. Except the grill was closed the day we arrived, oh well. We had a bucket shower and cleaned our clothes in said bucket. We conversed with other hikers about the usual tendencies of trail life. The little community was a respite for weary travellers as they made there journey north. That night they offered hot food at the cafeteria and when the night fell, we all sat around each other and relaxed. A surprisingly rare occurrence on trail.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~DAY 8 & 9~ Distance hiked 27 miles / 43.2km We woke up and left camp early.. It was 19 miles to Barrel Springs and at least 8 miles to the first water cache of the day. The heat was scorching as we weaved in and out of hills and valleys. Cactus, Yucca and lizards were abundant through the morning. We stopped for a mid day break and fell asleep in the shade as we waited out the heat. We ended that day finishing nearly 19 miles and quickly fell asleep at Barrel Springs. The next day was spent walking through the most stunning meadows filled with endless blossoms. Eagle rock was the midway point towards Warner Springs and our destination for the day. It was windy but cool and one of the most enjoyable days we've had!

So we headed out for the day to Seymour Mountain for a little practice on our self arresting skills. Lora and I walked away with some valuable skills!
