Canada

Done.

Hammered 31 miles before 5pm to reach the US/Canada border and complete the Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike.

It will take some time to sink in, so I have no profound words to share for now. It’s been a wild 115 days – travelling more than 2600 miles up and down mountains, through deserts, over 12000+ foot snow covered passes, and living in freezing rain day after day. It was challenging, rewarding, all that stuff. The experience itself can’t be passed along in words.

I’ll post more photos of the trip once I get home and settled a bit. Lastly, I would again like to thank everyone who helped out along the way and most of all my wife Nicole.

    Congratulations! Enjoy the warm glow of your accomplishment! I agree with Caleb. I can’t believe I have been following your adventures for just under four months. I too am sad the “living vicariously from home” adventure is over.

    Congratulations! I’ve been following your blog over the past few months and have enjoyed reading your updates. Your adventure is inspiring. Many people only dream of doing this trek, but you made it a reality. I give you a lot of credit for doing this all by yourself. Good luck on your future endeavors.
