Sunrise on Baden-Powell, 400 miles, so much lupine and snow plants, and a road walk to avoid a section of trail closed due to endangered frogs. What’s next? Love this wild, hot, dusty trail!

Highlights from the past week on the PCT:

Zero day in Idyllwild with my big wacky tramily ❤️

Alexa, play “Wildflowers” by Tom Petty

Yesterday was probably the best day on the PCT so far. After a refreshing unplanned zero, we went back onto the trail. There were views all day. There was trail magic. There were flowers and laughs and cacti. We cruised our first 20-mile day, much earlier than I thought we would. We found a beautiful campsite, and I stared at the stars. Life is good out here.

Some scenes from the early PCT, including, but not limited to: wildflowers, ridiculously beautiful landscapes, new friends, neat rocks, and very, very cold wind. Swipe all the way to see how hikers ward off hypothermia when it hails in the desert.
