The Pacific Crest Trail covers 2,650 miles between Mexico and Canada. Along the way, it passes through California, Oregon and Washington. It takes travelers across the desert, through the glaciated expanses of the Sierra Nevada and into deep forests, leading to spectacular views of volcanic peaks in the Cascade Range.

Each year, many hikers and equestrians enjoy the trail in different ways. Some travel for a few miles, while others complete the entire trail in a season. For more information about the Pacific Crest Trail, please visit the San Bernardino National Forest’s website.
