PCT 2024 Sierra Section

After last year’s failed attempt at a full Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hike, I decided to scale back my goals this season and only hike 500 miles, all within my favorite mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, from Walker Pass in the south to Donner Pass in the north.  This page is the Table of Contents for my PCT 2024 Sierra Section chronicles.  Enjoy!
