Pacific Crest Trail “PCT” Section K Stevens Pass to Stehekin

Описание: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail PCT section K was great. A littel challenging at times but beautiful! This is my last section of the PCT for 2025. I am looking forward to getting back on trail next year. If you’re considering hiking the Pacific Crest Trail i highly recommend it.

This is my story of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail—a lifelong dream and one of the greatest adventures of my life.

In 2023, I started in Campo and hiked 1,170 miles of the PCT through record snowfall. In 2024, despite my surgeon recommending a knee replacement, I told the doc, “Hey, I think I can do 2,650 miles before I need a new knee.” So, I pulled my PCT permit and started back at the Mexico border—rehiking many miles in my attempt to complete a continuous footpath from Mexico to Canada.

Well, I didn’t make it all the way, but I did hike 1,450 miles before an injury forced me off the trail. After getting off, I had a knee replacement in November. Now, I’m on a mission to complete the sections I had to skip due to snow, fires, and injury on my previous hikes.

Join me as I take on everything the PCT has to offer—from encounters with bears and snakes to summiting snowy passes, trekking through deserts, navigating wildfires, making new trail friends, and witnessing some of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. This journey isn’t just about survival—it’s about thriving in the wild.

Come along for some Type 1 and Type 2 fun (and hopefully not too much Type 3 fun). I hope you enjoy the videos and that my story inspires you to get outside!
