The Pacific Crest Trail is a long distance hike in the United States, all full of superlatives: too long, too hot, too cold, too high, too much.
2650 miles of narrow stretch of earth, rocks and sands, in a balcony starting along the Eastern margin of the Pacific rim, from Mexico to Canada. The PCT is one of the masterpieces of the National Scenic Trails.
As Steinbeck’s Long Time Hobos, it’s our turn to experiment the life of the American Thru Hikers.
There’s a certain flavor of freedom, of simplicity… a certain fascination with the horizon without limits, the journey without detours, the nights without roofs, the life without superfluities.
Théodore Monod, Méharées, Exploration au vrai Sahara (1937)
