PACIFIC CREST TRAIL PACKS
The Westernmost trail in the infamous “Triple Crown” of hiking, the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) stretches from the US-Mexico border to the US-Canada border, running through California, Oregon and Washington. According to the 2013 statistics from the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) only 26% of hikers surveyed reported completing the trail.
We've written extensively about the experiences of our pros and friends over the years, which is why we selected the southwest series as the recommended pack for this trail. If you are still researching and planning a trip, check out these posts we've found helpful:
