Through Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail In Winter - Justin Lichter & Shawn Forry

Hiking the length of the 2,663 mile Pacific Crest Trail in summer is challenging. But Shawn Forry estimated that he and partner Justin Lichterhad a 17% chance of success before they began their attempt to hike the train this winter. Despite California's droughts, they spent much of the hike through Oregon and Washington soaked and battling high wind, but they report they had good weather through the High Sierras, which was the key to their 132 day journey. Lichter says that they were never lost, but they did get "temporarily misplaced" on a few occasions.
