About this Event
Dreaming about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail but not sure where to start? Join PCT thru-hiker Alejandro Ponce for a night of trail talk, real-world insight, and everything you need to plan your PCT journey with confidence.
We’ll cover the essentials of thru-hiking, plus dive into:
- Permits, timelines, and when to go NOBO vs SOBO
- Gear for 2,650 miles (what works and what doesn’t)
- Resupply strategy and trail towns
- Food planning and water carries
- Physical and mental preparation
- Trail culture, safety, and what to expect out there
Whether you’re seriously planning a thru-hike or just PCT-curious, this clinic will give you the tools (and motivation) to take that first step.
Doors open at 7:00!
Chance to win a Six Moons Design 50 L Fusion backpack!
