Top Instagram Posts from the #PacificCrestTrail

As CDC guidelines lift across the country for vaccinated individuals, thru-hiking season is finally kicking into high gear. Most NOBO hikers are facing down the heat and long water carries of the first 750-miles of the PCT while finding time to rest and recover during sweltering afternoons on trail. Now, it’s your turn to take a break from your daily grind and lose yourself in the immense beauty and diversity of the PCT with these hiker-trash-inspired images from Insta-savvy thru-hikers.

Be sure to tag our accounts @thetrek.co and @pacificcrest.trail or use our hashtags #thetrek or #trekthePCT. (You never know, you might just see your own mud-caked, sunburnt legs on the next feature!)
