About the Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) is one of the most popular thru-hikes in the United States. It's unofficially referred to as one of the "triple crown" thru-hikes in the United States, along with the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, and many people have a goal of completing all three within their lifetimes. It starts at the Southern Terminus (United States - Mexico border, Campo), and ends at the Northern Terminus (Canada, Manning Park). The trail itself follows the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges and takes you through very diverse landscapes - the desert on the southern side, mountainous regions in the middle, and green, lush forests in the north.
