The End (For Now)

9/3 - Spokane, WA - Mile 2,300 Well this is it – I'm officially "off trail," as hikers say. After four months and change of hiking, I'm back in Spokane, writing this from my couch. The comfort of being home is a stark contrast from the last few days

8/24 - Timberline Lodge, OR - Mile 2,100 Out of all the places I’ve written these newsletters from, my current location may be one of the coolest. The Timberline Lodge is an old wood ski resort, and the area I’m in is a circular room built

8/06 - Ashland, OR - Mile 1,720 After just over three months, I've finally made it out of California. On Friday, I crossed over into Oregon, the second of three states that the PCT goes through, and – from what I've heard, at least – the one with the easiest
