Hello! My name is Tori - and I am hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2023 as a part of a research project called No Trace Trails. My dream of hiking the PCT started while completing my PhD studying environmental pollution. No Trace Trails merges my love of research and backpacking with the goal of studying trash and microplastics on trails. Follow along to learn more, join the trash team, and see what we find!
