From the tip of the U.S. / Canadian border down to the U.S. / Mexico
border, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail spans 2,650 miles. About
300 people walk and hike this trail every year, with about 180 finishing
before the first severe snow fall. It takes about 6 months to do the
trail, logging 20 miles per day and ranges in elevation from just above
sea level at the Oregon-Washington border to 13,153 feet (4009 m) at
Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevadas.
