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.
How long should I allow for an 8-mile hike? Naturally, that depends on a lot of factors, including the trail condition, how flat it is, and your level of fitness. A rule of thumb is to allow one hour to hike two miles; and another hour for each thousand feet of altitude you re gaining.So 8 miles over flat terrain will take 4 hours for a typical hiker.he usual rule of thumb is to walk at least 50 miles in your new boots before wearing them for an extended hike. Start with short walks. You don t want to get halfway into a 15-mile hike and realize you ve got a new blister forming. Wear the boots when you walk to work, to the grocery store, to do errands.
