During my hike on the PCT in 2019 I interviewed over 100 hikers on the trail. I finally got around to uploading all of them. Take a look!

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to throw a thread up announcing my trip, Walk The Parks. In a couple of days I'll be starting at Old Faithful, WY and starting my 20,000+ mile journey! I'll be...
I want to do West Yellowstone to Twin Lakes, CO.

So I miraculously timed my Crawford Notch/302 crossing as the AMC Shuttle Driver arrived and ended up taking the shuttle to avoid using my tarp in 60mph winds and doing the presidential range in the...
Is that like a Trailhead lot, or one owned by the Inn? Any permission needed, or is it just an unmarked lot?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'd like to do a long section hike of the AT NoBo from Rutland or near rutland (Killington, etc), and I'd like to leave my car there or in the area until I hit Katahdin.

Hello,
I'm looking to do some hiking before my CDT thru-hike attempt. I'm starting this weekend (depending on when I get a ride) and hiking the Northville-Placid Trail.
I'm trying to extend...
In a very drastic change of plans, I've decided to thru the CDT this year, so I'll be keeping the maps to assist the Colorado portion of the hike (and hopefully to enjoy numerous alternate routes for...
Hello, I had an amazing time hiking the Colorado Trail from Durango to Denver this past summer. I loved it so much that I decided to move to my favorite town that I stopped in along the journey. ...
Honestly, thru-hikers are the coolest group of people I've ever met. There are tons of different personalities as far as extroverts, introverts, bible preachers, potheads, and everything in between....
I am thinking very seriously about a 6 week trip to Nepal in 6 months or so. I was thinking of doing the Annapurna Circuit and an Everest Base camp trek. I know both trails are fairly crowded, but...
Go as soon as possible. Make someday into today (or as soon as possible). If you have a goal that you really want to do, why wouldn't you do everything in your power to attain said goal as soon as...
The best (and funniest) challenge I heard of is the 007 challenge. It's fairly complex:
1) Take two zero days.
2) Hike 7 miles the next day.
I'm not sure if I completed it on my thru-hike...
Thanks so much for this guide Mags. I recently thru-hiked the CT from Durango to Denver and really appreciated your guide. Definitely all you need as far as towns go. I lucked out and on the...
So excited to start the PCT. Probably staring around 5 months from today. Sounds amazing that it's so close. I'm so excited to reenter the awesome world of thru hiking. Such a better existence to...
This trail is amazingly beautiful. The key is definitely to get there as early as possible to avoid crowds though. VERY early. This hike made me think about the AT and then complete a SoBo thru...
Hello, I'm a SoBo in Waynesboro and just realized the great water info I got from the ATC office does not have the status of any water South of here. Any detailed water info would be greatly...
Where can I find high quality blaze orange synthetic t shirts? I'm currently a SoBo off the trail for a couple of days visiting my brother and really see a need for the blaze orange as I heard...
Just got my reservations for Baxter State Park for July 1 -3. Camping for a couple of days with friends, then I think I'll walk to GA. Practice hikes in grand canyon in two weeks too. I love life.
Thanks so much for all of the replies, that expands my options quite a bit. I do like Flagstaff, but unfortunately my accelerated school program has forced me to be solely a weekend warrior on the...
