Congratulations to these 2023 Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hikers: Part 1

2650 miles, 3 states, 26 national forests, 7 national parks, and countless ramen bombs later, these Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers have successfully trekked from Mexico to Canada. Making it to the northern terminus was merely a dream when these intrepid thru-hikers took their first few steps on trail. They battled blisters, the Sierras, multiple re-routes, and several other obstacles as they pushed towards their final goal. Making it to Canada signaled their victory in achieving that goal and remaining resilient when times were tough.

Join us in congratulating these incredible hikers on their accomplishment!
