Ten Reasons to Hike the PCT

Why do I want to hike the PCT? Here are my top ten reasons why…

  1. Get to see and hear a rattlesnake up close and personal.
  2. See how many times I can twist my ankle and still hike on it.
  3. Grow a beard to see if I look like Santa Claus.
  4. Lose weight while eating crap food.
  5. See if I can drink awful looking water through a filter.
  6. Challenge and further my hatred of mosquitos.
  7. Pass as many 20 year olds as possible.
  8. Acclimate to hiking on sketchy trails at precarious heights.
  9. Take pictures of neat people and places.
  10. Pet and frolic with bears and mountain lions.
