PCT 2026
I am thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail starting April 6th, 2026 ~ NOBO (NorthBound)
The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,650+ mile trail that stretches through the California, Oregon, and Washington terrain from the Mexico border to the Canada border.
The trail calls me as both a physical and spiritual challenge - an invitation to explore more of what becomes possible when I continue to strip life down to the essentials:
my body, my breath, my pack, and the land beneath my feet (plus fulfilling the nomad lore of the girl who thrives being hiker trash).
All of this is possible because of the Magic of some Washington State Trail Angels through the PCT Grant.

One Month Out: The Yoga of the In-Between
I am one month out from stepping foot onto the Pacific Crest Trail – and that has its own kind of wild: liminal, electric, uncomfortable, sacred.
I keep trying to imagine that first step, I know it’s coming. I know it will be real. I just can’t quite touch it yet. What I can feel is this strange, stretched-thin in-between.
The Trail Began Before The First Step
I assumed the trail began at a monument – at the start of something official. I thought it began with miles, with steps, with my pack on my shoulders and a long line stretching into the distance.
But somewhere between the quiet mornings in the backcountry and the weeks I spent walking myself back to life, I learned the truth: the trail begins long before I would even step foot on the Pacific Crest Trail.
