The Trail

Echo Lake to Barker Pass is where we will be jumping from the PCT onto the TRT and back down the PCT to our car after we complete this mammoth loop. 11 Major passes!

The Beginning

Aaron and I set out in a little under four weeks for a 2-3 week backpacking trek.  First, we will put on 112 miles on the PCT linking in with the TRT in the Desolation Forest then -------->Some basic STATS: 178 miles loop, 1000-3000 foot climbs and drops- the whole thing in one shot.  The way we see it, should be a pretty badass hike, with plenty of time to gather our thoughts and most important plenty of time out of the grind.
