Trevor Laher's Story - Saving lives on the Pacific Crest Trail

It's been a year since I met Trevor Laher on the Pacific Crest Trail as we embarked on our 2,665-mile journey from Mexico to Canada.

We hiked together for a short while, but never would I have imagined that chatting with him at Montezuma Valley would be the last time I saw him.

On the 27th of March 2020, snow-covered icy slopes and a lack of winter equipment caused Trevor to have a fatal fall in the San Jacinto Mountains at Apache Peak.

Since that day, Doug Laher, his father, says after months of difficulty, his son's story has given him a new purpose in life, to selflessly ensure the safety of others following in Trevor's footsteps.

This is the story of how a father's son's tragedy is saving the lives of others on the PCT.
