Hiking Vicariously

Introduction

On April 7th, I’ll be starting a 2,653 mile trek from Campo, California to the Canadian Border. If everything goes as planned, I’ll be spending 5 months on the Pacific Crest Trail. After committing to the trip in 2018, I’ve spent the past year training, planning logistics, purchasing and testing gear. This will be my first through hike…

I’ve created this page to post updates from the trail for family, friends, and my St. Luke’s colleagues. In the coming days, I’ll outline my gear selection for the trip and go into further detail on some of my preparations.
