PACIFIC CREST TRAIL SECTIONS. The Pacific Crest Trail stretches across 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada through the mountains of California, Oregon, and Washington. The Pacific Crest Trail, a two-volume guidebook by Jeffrey Schaffer, et al has come to be recognized as the definitive guide for anyone hiking the trail in whole or in part.
The trail is 2,650 miles and it generally takes the entire snow-free season to walk. Thatâs about 5 months. Elite athletes who are experienced on the PCT have finished the trail in as little as two months. The few who achieve sub-100 day hikes average well over 30 miles per day. Thatâs an incredible achievement.
