Why Solo Hiking the PCT Wasn't What I Expected

Solo Hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail: Not What I Expected

Imagine setting off on a 6-month thru-hike through some of the most remote and stunning landscapes in the US... alone. But what if I told you that my solo thru-hike on the Pacific Crest Trail didn’t turn out the way I expected? In fact, it changed my life in ways I could have never imagined.

In this video, I'll share my solo PCT thru-hike experience and why it didn’t turn out as expected. From the incredible community of hikers I met, to the unexpected trail families that formed, and even falling in love on the trail, my journey was full of surprises.

📌 Key Takeaways:

- The PCT community and trail families can transform your hiking experience.
- Hiking solo doesn't always mean being alone; connections form naturally on the trail.
