Pacific Crest Trail 2025

4,270 kilometers. 120 days. Just the bare essentials in my pack and a dream that finally came true. From the Mexican border through deserts, snow and endless forests all the way to Canada. On foot, step by step. What remains are images, encounters and moments that are almost impossible to put into words.

A big thank you to

Insights, thoughts and images from 120 days on the Pacific Crest Trail. From the first steps in the Californian desert to the last step at the Canadian border. Each post tells the story of a different part of the journey.

11) Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Equipment: Gear List & Recommendations

The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is one of the most famous long-distance hiking trails in the world. Stretching over 4,000 kilometers from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington, it offers breathtaking landscapes and challenging terrain. I had the privilege of hiking this trail and want to share my experiences as well as the gear that accompanied me throughout the journey.
