Today is the day. It’s been a long time coming. But today I started the pacific crest trail. A 4260 kilometre (2650 mile) hike from the border of Mexico, to the border of Canada. Across the desert, through the sierras, and the mountains of Oregon and Washington.
It’s been a dream of mine to be here, doing this, and it was an emotional journey to get here.
I thought I would cry when I made it here but all I wanted to do was to smile and get started.
Thank you to my family, my friends, and my partner Katie for getting me here. You’ve all played an important role in planting the seed for the trip, inspiring me to go adventuring, and helping me believe that I could make it here, when I wasn’t sure if I would.
