This is an excitement packed entry. This blog is all about the wonder packed section from Agua Dulce to Tehachapi. We went through magical and eccentric trail angel houses, famous landscapes and the aquaducts and wind turbines at the edge of the barren Mojave. The end of this section, Tehachapi, signified the end of Southern California and the start of the journey towards the granite and snow of the Sierras.

It’s been one month on the Pacific Crest Trail. it’s about time to write a small summary. This is what the PCT really means to me, the things I learned and how it changed my life. I hope from this you can understand why people sacrifice so much to just walk and be inspired to take your own journey.

A little bit of a recount of how sleeping on the PCT went for me this first month! All the little misfortunes and changes I made as I gain my experience on the PCT and trying to become a better hiker.

Hike -> buffet -> more hiking

If someone has put that on paper I would’ve been, wait a minute, that sounds like a horrible idea. But that’s exactly what I did.

Let’s go back to the start of this day where I hiked 25 miles in 30+ C weather and what might be my first moment of desperation.

this week’s story is about my time relaxing in the small town of Idyllwild. we had a family style taco dinner, ate a bunch of food and climbed the highest mountain in Southern California!
