Congratulations to these 2023 Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hikers: Part 5

After covering an astounding 2,650 miles through three states, traversing 26 national forests, exploring seven national parks, and indulging in countless ramen bombs along the way, these determined Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers have triumphantly journeyed from Mexico to Canada. When they took their initial steps on the trail, reaching the northern terminus was merely a distant dream. It was a goal that drove them every day, motivating them to press forward in the face of blisters, unpredictable weather conditions, and various other formidable challenges that stretched their limits. They transformed a dream into a hard-earned reality, making their arrival in Canada a well-deserved victory that will resonate with them for a lifetime.

Let’s come together to extend our heartfelt congratulations to these remarkable hikers on their extraordinary achievement. Their unwavering determination and effort deserve every bit of celebration!
