West Coast Trail 2013

by site editor Rick McCharles

I’m booked for my 4th WCT. 🙂

It’s been our #1 hike in the world since 1999.

Getting ready, I’m drafting a new WCT information page. Leave comments on that page, if you have anything to add.

If you don’t know the adventure, watch my favourite WCT video.

Tell it on the Mountain – PCT

I’m at ADZPCTKO. The kick off party for the Pacific Crest Trail.

Pretty inspiring. 🙂

Check the new PCT movie.

Follow a half dozen of the 300 or so hikers who attempt a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike every year. Armed with cameras, they give us an insider’s view into what it takes to spend half a year living in the wild.

Click PLAY or watch a sneak peek on YouTube.

Available for purchase on Tellitonthemountain.com and Amazon.

I’m doing research for a future PCT adventure. Likely just the California section.

Annapurna Circuit and Nepal

Great edit.

A glimpse into a wonderful 5 week adventure.

Be warned the trek has been degraded in recent years by road building. If that bothers you, head for one of the many good Himalayan alternatives.
