I remember previous backpacking trips, but most were only for a few days. These short trips were never enough and I always wished I could stay longer in this paradise as the trail seems to finish almost immediately after starting. This past summer, I learned about the Pacific Crest Trail, and I realized that there was a way to more fully connect with nature. The five month, 2,700 mile backpacking trail runs from the arid Mexican border in California to the mountainous Canadian border in Washington. Instantly, I knew that I would someday undertake this challenge. The trail tests both physical and emotional strength so much that only a fraction of aspiring long-distance hikers finish. I was not deterred from my goal, and the thought of the immersive challenge excited me. Taking this trip solo would finally allow me to experience self-reliance, something only realized when alone in the wild for days on

Never wear boots, flip-flops, shorts, or jeans on this trip because there will be no point of going. And if this attire is worn venturing out on this trip will not be a very intriguing one. Never hiking will make this quest extremely tough for anyone. With the temperature being about ninety degrees anyone would get parched, famished, and exhausted.

Even if a person is young they would still feel the aches and pains of the strenuous

Bill Pierce has been contemplating the idea of his travels for about ten years but didn’t really get around to it, but he said, “About a year ago I retired, and I sat down and said to myself either i’m going to do this or i’m not going to do it, times going to run out eventually.” After finally making up his mind he decided he wanted to take on the challenge and hasn’t looked back since.

On Tuesday, March 29, 2016 I attended a geography film event at Sykes called “Remembering Hells Canyon.” The creator of this film, Patricia Keith, attended this event. Patricia Keith teaches video production at a college level. Her production company, Buffalo Eddy Productions has created many films. They’re mostly known for making in-hand adventures films in places like South America, Southeast Asia, China, Canada and much more. Patricia explained how difficult it was to film these adventure films. Most of these films are constructed in a remote location. These remote locations are very hard to access by foot. Buffalo eddy used transportation like busses, trains, bush planes, carts, wagons, ferries, canoes, and land cursers to access the remote

Our backing group had for some time hiked all over the Sierra’s, and because our leader Mario Bonura made it easy on us, the trips were always circular. That is we ended up where we started from. So we talked about a backpacking trip which combined other trips but began and ended up elsewhere. With this in mind we devised this trip which began in Toulumne Meadows

It was perhaps eight years ago that I initiated my first trek on a small hill, back then the whole concept of trekking bewildered me, living afar from the clutches of your over protective parents and surviving on your own in mountains was a dream come true for an eleven year old so I instantly signed up for my school’s annual trek. Little did I know that it was simply much more than that.
