PCT Backpack from Harts Pass to the Canadian Border

About this event



This backpack will follow the Pacific Crest trail from Harts Pass to the Canadian border and back.
We will drive from Oregon to Harts Pass on Sunday July 6. We’ll just camp right at the pass so we can start hiking on Monday morning.  On day 4 we’ll make it a day-hike to the border and leave most of our stuff at Hopkins Lake. With the exception of day 4, all days will be less than 10 miles though there will be a lot of hill climbing, so this would be considered a strenuous hike. But I do intend to take an easy pace and take lots of breaks. We’ll stay at Harts Pass the last night (July 13) so we have the whole day on the 14th for the long drive back home.

Difficulty: Medium, Relaxed pace 

Driving distance 500 miles each way.

Hiking Distance: 53 miles

Elevation gain: 10,500 ft
