The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a premier 2,650-mile national scenic trail stretching from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. Renowned for hiking and equestrian use, it traverses mountains, forests, and deserts. It takes roughly 5-6 months to thru-hike, requiring permits and careful planning.
