Скачать или смотреть Close Call with Rattlesnake and Painful Blisters on the PCT - Pacific Crest Trail 2024 - Ep.3

Days 3 and 4 on the Pacific Crest Trail take me 54 miles from Laguna Campground to Barrel Springs. I continue pushing north, covering breathtaking desert miles hiking alongside Rich, an inspiring fellow PCT hiker with unbreakable determination, as we tackle rugged trails together and meet other hikers along the way.

These days bring intense moments, like my first close encounter with rattlesnakes, a reminder of the raw wilderness around me. Reaching my 100 km milestone is thrilling, but painful blisters remind me just how tough this journey is. With each mile, I learn more about pacing, resilience, and managing water scarcity with the help of trail angels and their life-saving water caches.

Join me as I navigate California’s stunning desert terrain, battling the elements and finding motivation in the beauty of the PCT. This 2024 thru hike is just getting started, and there’s much more to come!
