      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - o Days until I hike the PCT! - "So… this is what actually happened when I started my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail."</image:title>
      <image:caption>"So… this is what actually happened when I started my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail." Two years ago, I stood at the southern terminus of the PCT, ready to take my first steps. But the truth? I wasn’t fully ready. I was excited, but I was also scared, unsure, and questioning everything. The reality of a thru-hike isn’t just about miles or gear—it’s about facing yourself, and that part? It’s not always easy. And now, here I am, about to do it all over again. But this time, I know something I didn’t before…</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - 1 Day until I hike the PCT! - Second-Guessing Everything</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Am I the only one who feels like I’m making a mistake?" Second-guessing usually happens after we’ve already made a choice. We start overanalyzing, wondering if we did the right thing, playing out every "what if" in our heads. The PCT is a huge commitment—months of walking, unpredictable conditions, and no real certainty of the outcome. It’s normal to question it. But second-guessing isn’t a sign that we made the wrong choice. It’s a sign that we care. So yeah, I’m nervous. But I’m doing this anyway.</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - 2 Days until I hike the PCT! - Other People's Opinions</image:title>
      <image:caption>"It’s easy to get caught up in someone else’s opinion of you." People love to have opinions. About my gear, my pace, my choice to hike alone. Even if they mean well, it’s easy to let their voices get louder than my own. But at the end of the day, no one else is walking these miles for me. I am. So I have to ask myself—am I making choices based on what I want? Or what other people think I should do?</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - 3 Days until I hike the PCT! - Hiking Alone</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Alright… this could be a really dumb idea, but I’m hiking the PCT alone." Every time I tell someone that, I get the same reaction: “That’s so dangerous!” But let’s be real—men hike alone all the time, and no one bats an eye. The truth is, I feel way more unsafe in the city than I do in the wilderness. Out here, my biggest concerns are weather, terrain, and how many snacks I have left. Fear is a normal human emotion, but it shouldn’t stop us from stepping outside our comfort zones. Being alone doesn’t mean being unsafe. It just means I get to walk this trail on my terms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - 4 Days until I hike the PCT! - The Fear of the Unknown</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why are we so scared to step into the unknown? The unknown is terrifying because it’s unpredictable. There’s no guarantee of success, no clear path forward, and no way to control every outcome. But isn’t that kind of the point? If we always stayed in our comfort zones, we’d never grow, never experience anything new, never know what we’re truly capable of. This hike is a leap into the unknown. But maybe that’s exactly what I need.</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - 5 Days until I hike the PCT - It’s Really Happening</image:title>
      <image:caption>Two years ago, I took my first steps on this trail. I was a ball of nerves and honestly did not know how far I was going to make it. My first goal was Idyllwild because it was sort of a walk home. It is where my dad worked until the end of his career and where my mom committed suicide. I cannot begin to explain to you the emotions I felt walking to this town. Feelings of exhaustion, grief, bravery, sadness all showing themselves to them as I walked endlessly to a town that I love but also to a town that brought so much grief. Not only was I dealing with those emotions I was wading through my own ability as I had never done anything like this to any extent. The previous 3 years I had four knee surgeries to help me walk and readjust my bones to the anatomically correct position. My first day on the PCT in 2022 I completed 4 miles and for me that was a huge accomplishment. From not being able to walk up stairs a couple years before to walking 4 miles?! Well here I am in 2025, 5 days away from taking my first steps on the PCT again and I should be feeling ready and prepared. And yet, I still have first-day jitters. The trail itself might be the same, but everything else is different—my mindset, my confidence, the people I’ll meet, the towns I’ll pass through. I know what’s coming, and yet, I don’t. So, welcome to this crazy little journey of me realizing… this is actually happening. And I’m about to walk 2,650 miles again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - Reminiscing PCT 2022 - 5 Sections and 5 Lessons</image:title>
      <image:caption>would be remiss if I didn’t reflect on my 2022 thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail—my first thru-hike. They say your first trail is your first love, and I can’t argue with that. There’s something about returning to a place that changed you forever. When I first set foot on the PCT, I wasn’t confident in myself. I second-guessed every decision and constantly worried about what others thought of me. But as the miles passed and the landscapes transformed, I realized that hiking northbound on the PCT mirrors the growth and change hikers experience along the way. The trail is divided into five distinct sections, each one teaching something new. Section 1: The Desert The desert strips everything down to the essentials. It’s a harsh but necessary reminder that you have to keep moving forward, no matter how you feel. This is the start of the journey—full of fear, uncertainty, and the weight of the unknown. The long, dry stretches test your limits, and every day you question your decision to be here. But you push forward. Section 2: The Sierra Nevada After 700 miles, you enter the Sierra Nevada, feeling like you own the world. The challenges of the desert prepared you, but the mountains have their own lessons to teach. Water is plentiful, but food becomes the concern. Steep, unforgiving climbs, unpredictable weather, and the sheer magnitude of the wilderness force you to adapt. The fear is different now—more raw, more real—but you know you have no choice but to keep going. Section 3: Northern California Emerging from the high mountains, you feel invincible. You know what you’re doing. You’ve faced hardships and survived. But Northern California humbles you. The burn scars serve as a reminder that beauty is fleeting. The trail stretches endlessly under the hot sun, and you begin to grieve the sections you’ve left behind. This is where doubt creeps in—where the infamous “NorCal Blues” hit. The pain of what you’re doing becomes impossible to ignore, yet you keep walking. Section 4: Oregon Oregon feels like a gift. The trail softens, the grade evens out, and the forests welcome you with open arms. Water is plentiful, and for the first time, you feel like you can breathe. You realize how much you’ve endured and how strong you’ve become. But in the rush to reach Washington, many hikers speed through, barely pausing to appreciate the moment they’ve arrived at—a moment where they have fully grown into themselves. Section 5: Washington Washington is both breathtaking and relentless. Its towering mountains test your endurance with steep ascents and long food carries. Yet, every step forward is filled with anticipation. The end is near. You’re almost there. A mix of hope and uncertainty settles in—what will it feel like to finish? Relief? Fear of what’s next? Maybe both. At the end of the trail, you carry with you five invaluable lessons: The momentum of learning and knowledge The bravery to face the unknown The ability to endure loss and hardship The realization of your own strength The hope and fear that come with stepping into the unknown These lessons don’t just stay on the trail. They follow you, shaping the way you move through life—just as the PCT has shaped me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>PCT 2025 Blog - The Pacific Crest Trail Again? - Why am I hiking the PCT Again?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi everyone! I know this may come as a shock to some, but for others, it’s probably an “oh, that makes sense” kind of announcement. But yes—I am hiking the Pacific Crest Trail again! Third time’s a charm, but is the second time a delight? I guess we’ll find out! I don’t want to overpromise, but let’s just say… a Triple Crown of the Pacific Crest Trail might be in my future. For those unfamiliar with thru-hiking terminology, a Triple Crown typically refers to completing the three major long-distance trails in the U.S.: The Appalachian Trail (AT) The Continental Divide Trail (CDT) The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Most thru-hikers finish one and immediately start wondering, “Which trail am I doing next?” The answers vary—from smaller trails like the Arizona Trail (AZT) and Colorado Trail (CT) to tackling the AT or CDT to complete the Triple Crown. But as I was finishing my hike in 2022, I already knew in my heart—I’d be back on the Pacific Crest Trail. There was no other trail I could picture myself hiking next. At first, I wondered if it was just because I was still immersed in the journey, fully enjoying every step. But even after leaving the trail, the question kept coming up. And every time, my answer was the same: the PCT. And now, nearly three years later, I’m making it happen. I’m setting out in March to thru-hike my first love of a trail—again. There is no other trail I can picture myself on right now, and for that, I’m beyond excited. Let’s do this. PCT Round 2!</image:caption>
