When we started this trail, we decided to help an organization that has worked to preserve the mountains we love and treasure here on the East Coast: the mountains where we first found had our breath taken away by the beauty of the natural world around us. Our goal was to raise a dollar for every mile we hiked on the trail. With us completing the trail, that totals to $2,650. So far, we have raised approximately $800. Thank you to all who have helped us in our effort to raise funds for the Highlands Conservancy. Seeing how determined we were to acheive our goal of completing the trail, you can understand our determination to meet this second goal as well. Please help us if you can!
To donate, just visit the donation link at the top of our blog. To learn more about our trip or donate, you are welcome to attend our public open house in Maryland, likely before the end of this year. We will post more details as they are ironed out.
THANK YOU AGAIN for joining us on this journey!
Track us and check out our updates as we begin our hike on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). On top of working towards the goal of completing the 2,650 mile trail, we also hope to raise that same amount in dollars for the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy. Check out our related links and our dedicated page through the Highlands Conservancy for more information and to donate.
Garrett and Maya, I'm considering doing the PCT Trail this spring much like you did last year. I was wondering if you had an itinerary you followed exactly or just winged it along the way. In addition, if you have a list of places you stayed, how far you walked each day, where you resupplied, etc. I'd be happy to use it to help plan my journey. I'm picturing in my mind an itinerary or something that shows the date, the location you camped. Maybe that's not something you made, but I'd be glad to hear any advice you may have. I'm considering walking south from canada to mexico. It doesn't seem to be done very often, just curious if you might know why that is. Thanks for any help you can give.
