I decided to make the grand attempt at a full Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hike but ultimately failed, as I only completed the first 650 miles from Campo to Walker Pass. Just the same, I had a great time, and it was surely a trek to remember. And who knows? Maybe I’ll do a similar amount next year, in 2024. We’ll see what the Winter Weather brings. Anyway, this page is the Table of Contents for my 2023 thru-hiking chronicles. Yes, I know: It’s very long, so take my advice and simply look at the pictures if you have limited time. Enjoy!
