PCT 101 – Definitions

Section Hiker – The PCT is divided into 30 sections: 18 sections in California, 7 in Oregon, and 5 in Washington. The average length of each section is 91 miles. Many PCT hikers complete a section at a time over several years.

We are now hiking in our 3rd section of the PCT, Section C. Today we will climb 5000 plus feet, so it’s all day climbing.

More beautiful desert flowers and colors.

We had a great view of Mt San Gorgonio as we climbed up above 8000.

Mount San Gorgonio

Our first rattlesnake sighting. I was glad to finally see one, the anticipation was getting to me.

We did a lot of miles today, 12 hours on the trail. We may make it to Big Bear a day early. WAHOO!!
